Russian strikes on Kyiv data centers and logistics

Bottom line

Russian Geran-5 drones struck Kyiv's Incom business center, hitting Datagroup and COSMONOVA data centers, causing internet outages and targeting critical infrastructure.

Why it matters

Targeting data centers and ISP infrastructure disrupts Ukrainian command and control, propaganda, and civilian communications, representing a shift towards soft infrastructure attacks in the information domain.

Multiple Russian sources (intelslava-95269, romanov_92-56134, romanov_92-56138, voenkorKotenok-75557) report that Russian Geran-5 drones struck the Incom business center in Kyiv on 25 Sep 2026. The strikes hit Datagroup and COSMONOVA data centers, causing widespread internet outages and partial damage to the buildings. This is part of a broader campaign against Ukrainian information and logistics nodes, including strikes on Boryspil UAV warehouses and McDonald’s storage facilities.
