Russian-installed authorities in Crimea have implemented a nighttime ban on motorcycles, scooters, and quad bikes. The measure, announced on Saturday, cites concerns that the vehicles’ sounds are indistinguishable from approaching drones. This follows increased reports of drone activity and attacks within the region, which Russia illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014. Officials have not specified the duration of the ban, but it is presented as a security precaution. The move reflects heightened anxieties regarding Ukrainian counter-offensive capabilities and potential attacks on Crimean territory. This restriction impacts civilian transportation and leisure activities during nighttime hours across the peninsula.
