The Russian-occupied city of Sevastopol has been plunged into a complete blackout, according to the occupation administration's energy company "Sevastopolenergo".

The company stated that the situation occurred "due to a technological disruption in the main electrical networks of the Crimean energy system". The dispatcher from the Black Sea Regional Dispatch Control set a large volume of power limitation.

"During emergency restoration work, it is impossible to maintain the priority schedule by LLC 'Sevastopolenergo'," the company said. Currently, consumers in both queues into which Sevastopol is divided have been disconnected.

The incident highlights ongoing issues with power supply in Crimea, affected by both hostilities and infrastructure decay. The duration of the blackout remains unknown.
