Anna reported that Ukrainian drones hit a data center of Sberbank in Balakovo in the Saratov region during the night. Sberbank confirmed the attack and stated that all systems and services were operating normally. The Ukrainian drone company Fire Point also confirmed the hit. The data center is still under construction but is already partially in use. The construction costs are estimated to be between one and one and a half billion dollars. For Sberbank, this was the first hit of this kind, Anna wrote. Three of the five Yandex data centers were also hit. The center in Sassowo in the Ryazan region was struck on Thursday night and caught fire; afterwards, numerous websites and apps went down in Russia. Several modules were damaged in Kaluga on Friday. The data center in Vladimir was completely shut down on Sunday night. Anna cited Meduza, Forbes Ukraine, Vedomosti, and NV as sources. #Ukraine #Sberbank #Yandex (translated)

U.M. OSINT wrote that Yandex data centers in Sasowo were hit on the night of October 8, 2026, in Kaluga on October 9, and in Vladimir on October 11. All three locations are far from Ukraine. Following an English-language address by Volodymyr Zelensky, bot activity noticeably decreased, the author reported, but questioned whether this indicated an actual decline in propaganda bots. The frequently cited graph from Cloudflare Radar shows a drop in automated HTML requests to websites, U.M. OSINT explained. Such requests could come from crawlers that create previews for shared links or from services that provide search engines and chat AI with information. Propaganda bots could be included, but they don’t have to be. The author also pointed out that propaganda is coming from Iran, Turkey, China, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Attacks on data centers make sense as military targets, U.M. OSINT wrote. He expected further Ukrainian attacks and mentioned Ivanteyevka and Mytischchi as possible next targets. He claimed that Russian air defenses could not adequately protect such facilities. At the same time, damage to Yandex services could impair Russian armed forces, which the author claimed use them for maps and possibly for drone operations. However, Yandex has not been shut down, U.M. OSINT wrote: the company has two additional large data centers and possibly dozens of smaller ones. Data can be shifted. According to IODA data from the Georgia Institute of Technology, connectivity has dropped by about 72 percent compared to the previous average. The attack harms Russia, but how severely remains to be seen. The claim that all propaganda bots have disappeared due to this is based on a misinterpretation and is not supported by the available information, the author explained. #Russland #Propaganda #Yandex (translated)

The translator stated that the socialist and radical government of Rosario had maintained for eight years the prohibition of transportation apps like Uber and DiDi, and lodging platforms like Booking and Airbnb. He also pointed out that the president of the Municipal Council had said they would impose so many requirements that it would be prohibitive to operate. The author maintained that the president was the wife of the rector of UNR, Bartolacci, and claimed that he had a contract for 14 million pesos with a driver while saying the university was low on funds. He added that the government now wanted to legalize Uber because La Libertad Avanza, with the insistence of Juan Aleart, had pushed the issue. He wrote that a legalization at that moment would show that for eight years they had acted fiscally irresponsibly and against employment. #Uber #Rosario #PolíticaARG (translated)
