РепортажRussian strikes kill four as Kyiv internet services falterНаписано 27 вересня 2026 р. о 07:39 UTCДивитисяСтенограма0:11On September 13th, we reported petrol station strikes killed two.0:15Now an office strike has killed four.0:17Attacks on communications infrastructure have also temporarily disrupted internet0:21access for an estimated 100,000 households in Kiev and the surrounding region.0:26A damaged data center operator says its Kyiv site will not reopen.0:29Which connections have returned and is a fire at a Polish satellite station0:33connected to the attacks?0:34The four deaths came in a Russian drone strike on an office building in Kiev's0:38Solomiansky district on September 25th.0:40An early count stood at three.0:42Later that afternoon, the count rose to four bodies, two outside the building, one0:45inside, and one in a car in the parking lot.0:47That sequence does not establish when each person died.0:50Emergency crews extinguished a fire beside the building in the parking area.0:54The victims' identities have not been established.0:57The injury count also differs.0:59Seven, including a child in one account, and at least ten in a later one.1:03Those are competing counts of the same attack, not figures to add together.1:07Both accounts put the death toll at four.1:09Data Group's data center was damaged, but its employees were unharmed.1:13Customer data was preserved and services continued from backup sites.1:17The fatal strike has been identified as a hit on Data Group's offices, yet the1:21checked police and company accounts do not establish that the four people died on1:25its premises.1:26There is no verified street address or conclusive match between the company's1:30equipment and the building where the bodies were found.1:32The four must not be described as Data Group employees.1:36The household estimate concerns earlier attacks, beginning September 23rd and1:40continuing through the next day.1:41It measures households affected by temporary internet disruption, not individual1:46users, and not the numbers still offline now.1:48Damage at a Kiev data center affected Pavutina, UTELS, Kiev Link, and Crazy Network.1:53Crazy Network's customers lost internet access in Kiev, Vinny, and the Khmelnytsky1:58region, and its telephone service was disrupted.2:01Most UTELS customers were reconnected in about two hours.2:04That was not a restoration time for every provider or for all 100,000 households.2:09Two hosting firms had no estimated restoration date in the same account.2:13A communications and data center office building was also damaged in Solomiansky2:17district on September 23rd.2:19That earlier damage cannot automatically be treated as the September 25 fatal2:23strike.2:24Nor is a suggestion that three data centers might have been damaged a verified count2:29of three direct hits.2:30Kosmonova's Kiev data center was struck twice on September 26th.2:34Its backbone network was damaged, interrupting internet services, television2:39broadcasts, and some Ukrainian media operations.2:41Kolot TV was among the affected providers.2:44Its staff were safe and client data was preserved through copies held in different2:48places.2:49Services were being moved to other resources and restored gradually.2:53That protects data, but it does not mean every customer's connection stayed up.2:57The damaged Cosmonova facility will not operate again.3:00A later account looking back at the second strike does not establish a third strike3:04on September 27th.3:06The attacks reached beyond company buildings.3:08Losing a connection can affect calls, study, and paid work.3:12while hosting and media services depend on functioning networks.3:15Ukraine's assessment is that targeting major data centers seeks to disrupt3:18information flow.3:19The damage and service interruptions are established.3:22A specific operational order to weaken the digital economy is not.3:26There is no evidence here of a nationwide internet collapse or a verified3:30interruption to hospital or banking services.3:32A fire at a Starlink ground station in Wola Krabowska, central Poland, damaged its3:37power infrastructure on September 23rd.3:40The station supports connectivity across Central and Eastern Europe, including3:43Ukraine.3:44Accounts describe damage to a transformer, distribution board, and generator.3:48They do not establish whether antennas were damaged or whether the station remained3:51operational.3:52Polish authorities disclosed the fire the next day, and prosecutors opened an3:57investigation on September 25 into suspected sabotage, activity for a foreign4:01intelligence service against Poland, and a terrorism-related offense.4:05Poland's deputy prime minister called the fire sabotage intended to disrupt internet4:10access used by Ukrainian forces.4:12and raised possible Russian involvement.4:15A prosecutor voiced reasonable suspicion that those responsible acted on orders from4:19Russian special services.4:21Neither suspicion identifies a perpetrator or proves that the fire was coordinated4:25with the Kiev strikes.4:27There is no measured disruption to Ukrainian forces' connectivity from the fire, so4:31the answer is still divided.4:32Some internet service returned quickly and backup systems preserved customer data,4:36but full restoration for every affected household and hosting customer has not been4:40established.4:40Kosmonova's damaged Kieva site will not reopen.4:43Polish investigators have not established who caused the station fire or whether it4:47was connected to the attacks in Ukraine.Читати статтюХронологія історіїHeyDexКоротке відео ↗Пов’язані матеріалиКонтекст·16 жовт., 17:35 UTCKyiv’s power recovery reverses after another
