Russian strikes on Kyiv data centers reportedly leave about 100,000 households temporarily offline

TLDR
The Guardian, citing Ukraine’s digital transformation ministry, reports temporary internet outages for about 100,000 households in Kyiv and the surrounding region after strikes on data centers and internet providers.
Tech Times reports that the September 23–24, 2026, attacks also cut off internet-delivered air raid alerts for users who lost connectivity. Outdoor sirens operate separately.
The Guardian says Ukraine’s decentralized network makes widespread or prolonged outages harder to cause, but officials and industry figures fear repeated attacks could disrupt banks, payment systems and public services as winter approaches.
