## Why it matters

654k-view claim about the Yandex strikes that carries a Community Note correcting it.

## Summary

The post claims War Thunder 'stopped working worldwide' after the drone attack on a Yandex data center and that, 'according to Russian media', Yandex services will not be fully restored until 2028. A Community Note (read via fxtwitter on 2026-10-12) says: 'War Thunder remains operational globally per outage monitors. Russian users reported some issues tied to Yandex Cloud after drone attacks on its DCs (Yandex/Reuters confirmed). 2028 restoration is speculative Russian media claim, not official.' Treat the post as misinformation with high reach, not as a source.
