Amazon: Drone strikes damaged AWS data centers in Middle East

Amazon confirmed drone strikes damaged AWS data centers in the UAE (two facilities) and Bahrain (one nearby strike), causing structural, power, and water-damage impacts that disrupted multiple availability zones and cloud services; AWS is restoring physical infrastructure and pursuing software-based recovery paths while advising customers to backup and migrate workloads to unaffected regions. The report links the strikes to broader regional military actions and notes the UK NCSC warning of a heightened risk of Iranian cyberattacks, but does not report any cyber intrusions or malware activity.
