Last night, more than 120 UAVs attacked St Petersburg. VK’s St Petersburg data centre is on fire following a drone attack. The company has confirmed the attack. VK itself referred to the Leningrad data centre as its ‘brain’ — it houses more than 20,000 servers and the bulk of user data. In 2015, the social network bought this data centre from Pavel Durov. Videos showing a major fire are also circulating online – this is the St Petersburg oil terminal, which was also attacked by drones last night. There has been damage to residential buildings and cars; there is no information yet on casualties or injuries. @eurasianchoice
