In Crimea, which is occupied by Russia, authorities have begun installing public telephones on streets to allow residents to call police and emergency services. The move comes as mobile communication in the region is often interrupted.

The main cause of the mobile network disruptions is attacks by Ukrainian drones. These strikes are part of Ukraine's strategy to weaken Russia's military capabilities and isolate the peninsula.

In addition to communication problems, Crimea is also experiencing power outages and fuel shortages. These issues affect both civilians and Russian military operations.

Kyiv has stated that its goal is to isolate Crimea and thereby reduce Russia's military potential in the region. This involves targeting communication and infrastructure elements.
