The Yandex Panoramas service, which allows users to view photographs of streets and specific locations on Yandex Maps, stopped working in Belarus on October 15. Users can no longer view photos of specific locations on Yandex Maps, Blizko.by reports.

Problems with the service began earlier. On October 14, only the most recent photographs were available, while panoramas from previous years could no longer be viewed.

Disruptions to Yandex services in Belarus began on the morning of October 11. Users in Belarus and Russia reported problems with Yandex Go, Yandex Eats, the Alice voice assistant and other company products.

The disruptions occurred amid drone attacks on Russian infrastructure. A data centre in Sasovo, Ryazan Region, was attacked on the night of October 8. The following day, a facility in Kaluga was damaged, and on the night of October 11, a data centre in Vladimir was hit.
