Amazon says “objects” struck a data center in its UAE region (ME-CENTRAL-1), throwing sparks and starting a fire. Almost certainly due to the ongoing war.

Separately, another data center is offline due to a "localized power issue."

"objects" in the same way a nuke is a "tactical nuclear object"?

They could be missiles, or bits of intercepted missiles.
