After UAV attacks, Yandex is again hit by failures: popular services are not working

Problems started at night and may affect not only the company's ecosystem, but also third-party platforms that depend on its cloud infrastructure.

Around 4:00 Moscow time, power outages were recorded in one of the zones of the Yandex Cloud platform. Due to the incident, a number of Yandex services stopped working or began to function intermittently.

Users encountered problems when using Yandex Go, Yandex Pay, the smart home control system “Dom s Alisoy” and other company products. The consequences of the failure may be wider: malfunctions can affect third-party services that use the Yandex Cloud infrastructure for their work.
