Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba stated that Russia struck major Ukrainian data centers, aiming to disrupt information flow. He emphasized that operational alerts for missile and drone threats are vital for saving lives and that these data centers are critical civilian infrastructure, not military targets. The strikes reportedly caused internet connectivity issues for 100,000 households in Kyiv.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation reported internet disruptions following Russian attacks on Wednesday. The attacks in Kyiv on September 23 resulted in two fatalities and over 40 injuries.
