Hromadske Radio reports that Dline.ua’s (aka Dream Line) data center at 28 Predslavynska Street was destroyed as a result of a Russian strike.

The company said, however, that all services and customer data have been transferred to backup sites.

Internet monitoring firm NetBlocks noted Dream Line's network went down this week.

In recent weeks, facilities operated by Parkovyi Data Center, MiroHost, Datagroup, Vodafone Ukraine, De Novo, Cosmonova, Omega Telecom, and Ukrtelecom have all suffered damage from drones. It is not known whether these data centers are all separate locations, however, or whether any of the companies were using shared facilities.

ISPs UTELS, Domonet, Kievnet, and Faust have all also reported outages due to Russian attacks. The strikes have also impacted broadcasts of TV networks.

Kyivstar's headquarters has also been struck by Russian drones.

Russia's Ministry of Defense (MOD) confirmed earlier this week that the country has been targeting Ukraine's communications and logistics centers, as well as naval vessels, in a Telegram post.

"Russia has targeted major Ukrainian ​data ⁠centers, seeking to disrupt the flow of information. Rapid alerts about missile and drone ⁠threats are ​essential - they save lives," ​said Andrii Sybiha, Ukraine's foreign minister, on X last week.

Dream Line is a Ukrainian colocation, hosting, and IT services company, and not to be confused with the Korean data center firm Dreamline.
