Rețeaua VKontakte, un facebook al Rusiei, întreruperi masive de funcționare după ce dronele ucrainene au lovit un mare centru de date în Sankt Petersburg. Parte din orașul natal al lui Putin a rămas fără energie electrică

On October 18, 2026, drone strikes targeted a VKontakte data center in Leningrad region, causing widespread outages and power loss in St. Petersburg. Users reported significant disruptions, with connectivity dropping to 56% of normal levels. The attack likely aimed at the nearby Vostochnaya power station. Concurrent drone assaults also hit Moscow and Leningrad, prompting airspace restrictions at local airports. VKontakte, Russia's largest social network, has faced increasing attacks on its digital infrastructure, following similar incidents at Sberbank and Yandex earlier in October.
