AWS said two UAE facilities were hit directly, ”while in Bahrain, a drone strike in close proximity to one of our facilities caused physical impacts to our infrastructure.”
The company said the drones caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to infrastructure, ”and in some cases, required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage.”
The firm added that it is working quickly to restore services to the affected areas, but that it could take time ”given the nature of the physical damage involved.”
It also recommended that customers who use its services in the region back up their data and “potentially migrate workloads” to alternative AWS facilities in the rest of the world.
