Ukraine strikes a Sberbank data center in Russia. Meanwhile, Kyiv isn’t getting crucial missile warnings from the U.S., and SpaceX is restricting Starlink.
Ukrainian drones struck a Sberbank data center in Balakovo, Russia overnight October 14, the first such strike on a Sberbank facility after earlier attacks hit Yandex centers. Saratov's governor said the strike damaged residential buildings and killed one person, while Sberbank insisted its systems and services were operating normally.
Meanwhile Zelensky said Ukraine again received no advance warning from Western partners before a Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv's CHP-4 power plant, continuing a pattern from the night before. Politico reported the U.S. attributed one lapse to poor weather, though Ukrainian officials are skeptical that's the real reason.
On the same morning, Ukrainian military personnel reported SpaceX had restricted Starshink satellite speeds used by front-line drones, hampering some missions. Trump, asked whether the U.S. had cut intelligence sharing, said simply 'No.'
