Russia's defense ministry said its forces struck a data center operated by Omega Telecom in Kyiv, describing the company as one of the largest providers of high-speed internet services to the Ukrainian armed forces, according to Russian state media.
The ministry said the facility had been used for the storage of large volumes of databases, framing the strike as part of efforts to disrupt communications infrastructure supporting Ukraine's military operations.
No independent confirmation of the ministry's characterization of the facility's role was immediately available, and Ukrainian officials had not issued a public response to the specific claim at the time of writing.
Telecommunications and data infrastructure have increasingly become targets in the conflict, with both sides at various points accusing the other of striking or disrupting networks that support military communications and civilian services alike.
Kyiv has faced repeated strikes on infrastructure throughout the war, with Russian officials frequently citing military-related justifications for attacks on facilities that also serve civilian functions.
Further details on the extent of the damage to the Omega Telecom facility, or any resulting disruption to services, were not immediately available.
