Photos show aftermath after Russia destroys another data center in Kyiv

Russian forces destroyed the dline.ua data center on Predslavynska Street in Kyiv, the company confirmed, forcing a migration of services and customer data to backup sites. It is one of at least ten Kyiv-area digital facilities hit in recent weeks, including UTELS, Pavutina, CityHost.UA, Cosmonova, MiroHost, Datagroup, and Kyivstar's headquarters.

Ukrainian officials, including Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, say the strikes deliberately target networks that carry emergency air raid alerts, not just commercial internet service. Zelenskyy said Ukraine is 'responding to this quickly,' though the list of destroyed facilities keeps growing faster than any response gets reported.

A presidential technology adviser said the strikes cannot fully sever Ukraine from the internet, which is the kind of reassurance offered after the tenth data center, not the first.
