AWS data center in UAE closes after fire incident

Amazon Web Services (AWS) reported a temporary power shutdown at its data center in the UAE after objects struck the facility, causing sparks and a fire. This incident coincides with Iran’s missile and drone strikes in the region, although AWS did not confirm any connection between the two events. Fire crews cut power while they extinguished the fire, and AWS indicated that restoring connectivity would take several hours, though other zones in the UAE remain operational.
