Massive Power Outages in Occupied Territories After Ukrainian Drone Strikes
Ukrainian drone attacks overnight on Monday caused widespread power disruptions in Russian-occupied areas, including Crimea, Kherson, and Donetsk regions.
According to Telegram channels "Krimsky veter" and "Exilenova+", as well as occupation authorities, Ukrainian drone strikes on Monday night left large parts of Russian-occupied territories without electricity.
In Crimea, multiple explosions were reported in Sevastopol and Kerch. Local residents said a power plant near Nekrasovka in the Bakhchysarai district was likely damaged. In occupied Melitopol, Zaporizhzhia region, a fire broke out, and power supply was cut after midnight in Donetsk.
Vladimir Saldo, the Russian-appointed head of the occupied Kherson region, stated that all districts under Russian control are fully or partially without electricity. The extent of the damage and any casualties remain undisclosed.
