On Sunday, Russian forces carried out strikes that hit Kyivstar, Ukraine’s largest mobile‑service provider. The attacks targeted the company’s headquarters in the capital and also struck several of its data‑centre facilities.

Kyivstar confirmed that its main office and the data‑centre sites were hit, describing the incidents as part of a broader bombardment of Ukrainian communications infrastructure. The company said the strikes were aimed at disrupting its network operations.

The attacks come amid a continuing campaign in which Russian forces have repeatedly targeted Ukraine’s data‑centres and other telecommunications assets. Such strikes have been a feature of the wider conflict, affecting the country’s ability to maintain reliable mobile and internet services.

No casualties were reported in connection with the strikes, and Kyivstar has not yet provided detailed information on the extent of damage to its equipment or any immediate impact on service availability for customers.
