A Ukrainian drone strike targeted energy infrastructure in Russian-occupied Crimea on Wednesday, June 24, leading to a power outage in the city of Sevastopol. According to the occupation authorities, the attack hit a thermal power plant and an electrical substation.

Officials reported that electricity supply in the city is being gradually restored, but no further details on the extent of damage or the progress of restoration were provided.

The incident is part of ongoing Ukrainian strikes on the Crimean peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014. Ukrainian officials have consistently stated that attacks on military and energy facilities are aimed at weakening Russia's capabilities in the war against Ukraine.
