Over 300 Ukrainian drones strike Russian regions and Crimea, knocking out power across Sevastopol
A Ukrainian drone attack knocked out power across Sevastopol, according to Mikhail Razvozhaev, Russia’s appointed head of the occupied city.
Specialists are assessing the damage and working to restore services, he said.
Razvozhaev urged residents to conserve their phone battery and use their devices only for emergency communications, and asked them not to overload the network once power returns. The city’s kindergartens will operate in a special mode, and Razvozhaev asked parents to keep their children at home.
The Telegram channel “Krymskii veter” (“Crimean Wind”), citing subscribers, reported three strikes on the main electrical substation in Sevastopol, after which a fire broke out there.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces intercepted and destroyed 323 Ukrainian drones overnight, shooting them down over the Astrakhan, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Volgograd, Kaluga, Kursk, Lipetsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Oryol, Orenburg, Penza, Rostov, Ryazan, Saratov, Smolensk, and Tula regions, Krasnodar Krai, the Moscow region, occupied Crimea, and the waters of the Azov and Black seas.
