On the night of October 23, the Defense Forces of Ukraine struck a data processing center of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, located in the city of Gorodets, Nizhny Novgorod region.
This was reported by People’s Deputy Oleksandr Fedienko, as well as the monitoring Telegram channel Exilenova+ .
The facility in Gorodets is one of two key data centers of the Russian tax service, operating in a geo-distributed mode. It is here that the aggressor stores and processes data from state registers and key tax databases.
"There is already confirmation that we have struck another Russian data center… Russian taxes can really burn," said Oleksandr Fedienko.
The destruction of this facility could potentially lead to disruptions in the operation of the Russian Federation’s digital state systems and disrupt the functioning of the enemy’s tax structures. The exact extent of the damage is currently being determined.
Later, Exilenova+ reported that a strike also hit the "Lugacom" data center on the territory of the "Marshal" plant in temporarily occupied Luhansk.
