THAmazon’s cloud division Amazon Web Services reported a temporary shutdown at its data centre in the United Arab Emirates after objects struck the facility, triggering sparks and a fire that forced authorities to cut power. The incident comes as regional tensions escalate following Iranian missile and drone attacks across Gulf nations linked to the wider US-Israel conflict with Tehran. AWS confirmed that one Availability Zone was affected, while other zones continued operating normally to limit service disruption. Connectivity restoration may take several hours as safety inspections continue. While no direct link to the strikes was confirmed, the episode highlights growing risks to digital infrastructure in key hubs such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
