Yandex Go experienced a malfunction in Uzbekistan amid a data center shutdown in Russia

On October 11, some platform services became unavailable or worked intermittently, and the full recovery timeline is still unknown.

Yandex Uzbekistan reported technical problems with Yandex Go on October 11. Some platform functions were temporarily unavailable, while others operated with limitations. Specialists are working to restore services, but the company has not yet been able to provide exact timelines for resolving the issues. Representatives of Yandex Uzbekistan also did not confirm whether the problems in the country are related to an incident in Yandex's Russian infrastructure.

On the same day, Yandex Cloud reported damage to the infrastructure of its data center in Vladimir as a result of a drone attack. The facility's operations were completely halted, and according to the company, there were no casualties. Initially, specialists recorded power supply interruptions in one of the cloud platform's availability zones, after which they switched it to emergency mode and redirected some services to other zones. However, individual components continued to operate with limitations.
