The TENET company's technological complex in Odesa, Ukraine, was hit by a Russian attack. The strike damaged the facility's critical infrastructure systems.
The company said the strike damaged power generation equipment and cooling systems.
Because of the damage, the site's future operation is now in serious doubt.
As a result, some users are experiencing disruptions to internet access and certain services.
Company's specialists are working to mitigate the impact and reroute traffic.
The provider's representatives have promised to issue further updates as the situation develops.
As previously reported, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently responded to Russian strikes on data centers, stressing that a response to such acts of aggression was inevitable.
The head of state had also previously said that Russia was deliberately seeking to deprive Ukrainians of internet access and digital services by launching targeted assaults on communications infrastructure.
