Amazon Web Services (AWS) has reported that two of its data centers in the United Arab Emirates were damaged in drone strikes. The company also confirmed a separate drone incident near another AWS facility in Bahrain. According to AWS, the attacks caused direct structural damage and disrupted power supply to one of the affected buildings.

AWS, a global provider of data storage and digital services, stated that the damaged centers host critical infrastructure supporting websites and online applications. The company warned that such incidents could have serious consequences for businesses relying on its regional operations.

In response to what it described as an unexpected situation in the Middle East, AWS urged customers to immediately back up their data or consider relocating their systems to other regions, including the United States, Asia, or Europe.
