Blasts were heard in occupied Crimea on the night of June 20, with local reports of a drone attack on the Tavriyska Thermal Power Plant.
In the early hours of June 20, explosions were reported in temporarily occupied Crimea. Local residents claim drones attacked the Tavriyska Thermal Power Plant (TPP). Following the strikes, a fire broke out near the plant, with black smoke visible. Explosions and air defense activity were also reported in several areas of occupied Simferopol and in Perevalne. The occupation authorities have not commented on the incidents.
Earlier, on June 19, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said Russian air defense had shot down 25 drones heading toward the Russian capital. The Russian occupation administration in Crimea banned motorcycle movement at night starting June 17. Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov predicts that in the near future, the occupied peninsula will become isolated due to Ukrainian drone strikes.
