Russia claims to have struck the De Novo data center in Kyiv, Ukraine, one of the country’s largest data centers.

According to Russian state news agency, TASS, Russian forces launched a number of strikes earlier this week targeting Ukrainian industry and infrastructure, including metallurgical and radio-electronics facilities, defense industry sites, and energy infrastructure.

The attacks took place across Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, and the Odesa region.

As part of these attacks, Russian officials claimed to have hit the De Novo data center. TASS said the site supports server equipment for military purposes and processes, transmits, and stores data, including intelligence data, for the Ukrainian army.

De Novo says it is a sovereign cloud and AI provider, operating and supporting mission critical IT systems. According to its website, the data center hosts the country’s largest banks and is the site of the biggest Infrastructure-as-a-Service cloud in Ukraine.

The De Novo data center was built in 2010, with expansion commissioned in 2017.

The site is one of the largest data centers in Ukraine with Tier III compliance, with a capacity of 360 rack spaces. The primary building at the Kyiv site spans 2,117 sqm (22,787 sq ft), with a total power capacity of 3.05MW and 1.05MW of IT power. It also hosts a secondary building across 1,200 sqm (12,916 sq ft) with 500kW of IT power available.

Earlier this year, Ukrainian forces struck a Russian data center facility in Russian-occupied Prymorsk, in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine.
