Ukrainian military channel Armiia TV suspends broadcast amid reported Russian strikes on Kyiv infrastructure

What happened

Ukrainska Pravda English reports that Armiia TV, the Ukrainian state-owned military television channel, has suspended its traditional broadcasting due to Russian attacks on Kyiv infrastructure. According to the channel’s press service on Facebook, the suspension is indefinite, but Armiia TV continues its operations on YouTube and social media platforms.

Outside Brief is treating this as a source-led account. Any disputed responsibility, casualty figure, battlefield claim or single-source assertion should be treated as unconfirmed/hearsay unless confirmed by another reliable source or a named official. The cessation of broadcast coincides with a series of Russian strikes starting on 23 September that targeted critical data centres in Kyiv. One attack damaged a data centre housing core equipment for the Utels internet service provider and caused disruptions to the Fex.net cloud service. These strikes reportedly disrupted internet connections for about 100,000 households across Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast.

Additionally, Kyiv-based internet providers Domonet, Kievnet, and Faust reported infrastructure damage resulting in further service failures. Another data centre owned by MiroHost was destroyed, with the company unable to estimate when services will resume. On 25 September, Datagroup’s data centre also suffered damage in separate reported attacks.
