[Multiple Amazon Data Centers in the Middle East Attacked, Causing Service Disruption]
According to a report by Jinse Finance, on March 2 local time, Amazon Web Services announced that three of its data centers in the Middle East were attacked by drones, resulting in severe service disruptions.
In a statement published on its official website, the company stated that two of the attacks directly hit its data centers located in the UAE, while another facility in Bahrain was affected by a nearby drone explosion. The company did not specify who was responsible for the attacks.
The company stated: 'These attacks caused structural damage, impacted the power supply to our infrastructure, and in some cases triggered fire suppression systems, leading to additional water damage. We are working closely with local authorities and prioritizing the safety of our employees during the recovery process.'
The company noted that the damage has affected multiple Amazon services, and given the extent of the physical damage, recovery efforts may 'take a significant amount of time.'
