A data center in Kyiv, Ukraine was critically damaged and forced offline following a Russian missile strike on digital infrastructure.

The Parkovyi Data Center in Kyiv has gone completely offline following critical damage sustained in Russian bombing attacks, according to a statement from the facility's owners posted on Facebook.

"As a result of a series of attacks by the Russian Federation, as of October 1, 2026, the Data Center Parkovyi in Kyiv suffered critical damage and completely stopped working," the post stated. "Restoration of services at this site is impossible. The main thing is that our employees are safe, and our customers' data is deployed on backup sites in the EU."

According to Data Center Map, Parkovyi was Ukraine's only Uptime-certified Tier III data center, spanning 2,715 square meters. It remains unclear whether the building has been completely destroyed by the bombing.

Russian forces have systematically targeted Ukraine's digital infrastructure since the 2022 invasion began. This week alone, Ukrainian mobile carrier Kyivstar's headquarters and several data centers came under attack. On September 23, a data center housing equipment for Internet service provider UTELS was damaged, followed the next day by outages affecting fellow ISPs Domonet, Kievnet, and Faust. Russia also destroyed a data center operated by hosting provider MiroHost, which remains offline, and damaged a facility belonging to Datagroup. It is unclear whether these constitute separate locations or whether the companies relied on shared infrastructure.

In response to the attacks, Ukraine's government has allocated UAH 518.3 million ($12.5 million) from its reserve fund to strengthen backup IT systems serving government agencies.
