The drone strikes, which are likely part of Iran's response to US-Israeli military action, have disrupted AWS Middle East (UAE) Region (ME-CENTRAL-1) and the AWS Middle East (Bahrain) Region (ME-SOUTH-1). Amazon stated that the attacks have caused physical impacts to infrastructure, with two facilities directly struck in the UAE and a drone strike in close proximity to one of its facilities in Bahrain.
In addition to the physical attacks, pro-Iranian actors have launched a barrage of cyberattacks aimed at causing economic and physical disruption. This wave of cyberattacks is part of a larger pattern of retaliation against US-Israeli military action.

Drone strikes and cyberattacks have become the new norm in the escalating conflict between Iran and the US-Israeli alliance. In a recent development, Amazon confirmed that three of its AWS data centers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and one in Bahrain were damaged by drone strikes, causing an extensive outage that is still affecting dozens of cloud computing services.
The drone strikes, which are likely part of Iran's response to US-Israeli military action, have disrupted AWS Middle East (UAE) Region (ME-CENTRAL-1) and the AWS Middle East (Bahrain) Region (ME-SOUTH-1). Amazon stated that the attacks have caused physical impacts to infrastructure, with two facilities directly struck in the UAE and a drone strike in close proximity to one of its facilities in Bahrain.
In addition to the physical attacks, pro-Iranian actors have launched a barrage of cyberattacks aimed at causing economic and physical disruption. This wave of cyberattacks is part of a larger pattern of retaliation against US-Israeli military action.
