Russia strikes Kiev data center and military industrial sites

Russian forces conducted large-scale strikes against Ukrainian military and industrial infrastructure, including a major data center in Kiev. The De Novo data center, which reportedly supports military server operations and is utilized by Palantir, was a primary target. Military experts suggest the strike aims to create an information vacuum and eliminate databases used for targeting Russian facilities.

In addition to the data center, the strikes targeted several industrial sites. These included a Pegas Arms workshop used for the production and storage of medium and long-range UAVs, as well as the Zaporizhstal metallurgical complex in the Zaporozhye region.

Russian military operations also focused on logistics and transport corridors. Strikes hit two major bridges across the Dnestr River, which serve as critical routes for freight and transport following the closure of Black Sea and Danube maritime routes. The attacks involved high-precision weapons launched from land, sea, and air, alongside UAVs.
