Ukraine War: Russia Claims to Have Struck Data Center in Kyiv and Kilia Port
Moscow claims bombardments targeting digital infrastructure, particularly Vodafone operator facilities in Ukraine.
Written by EGazette’s AI. The facts are drawn from cited sources; the analysis is the AI’s own.
The Russian military has claimed strikes against a data center in Kyiv as well as against Kilia port, according to information reported by Le Monde.
The targeted data center would be that of Vodafone operator, presented by Moscow as one of the main providers of mobile telephony and high-speed Internet used by Ukrainian forces, particularly for intelligence transmission.
According to the Russian version of events relayed in the report, these infrastructures play a role in Ukrainian military communications, which justifies, in Moscow's view, that they be targeted.
No independent confirmation of the extent of damage caused by these strikes, nor of their impact on telephone and Internet services in Ukraine, is mentioned in the available excerpt.
These announcements fit into the broader context of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, where digital and energy infrastructure are regularly targeted by both sides during bombardments carried out since the start of the war.
Le Monde notes that it is following the situation closely, with no additional details at this stage on any potential impact on civilians or telecommunications operators involved.
