Experts have warned that data centres, critical facilities powering cloud services, banking applications, and artificial intelligence platforms, are emerging as potential targets in modern warfare following reported drone strikes during the ongoing Iran conflict. Amazon confirmed that two of its data centres in the United Arab Emirates were struck by drones on March 1, while another facility in Bahrain was damaged by debris from a nearby attack. Analysts say such incidents may represent some of the first known physical attacks on data infrastructure, highlighting the growing strategic importance of data centres as national-level AI and digital infrastructure. Experts caution that targeting these facilities could disrupt civilian services and cloud systems, raising concerns about the security of digital infrastructure in conflict zones.
