Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Sevastopol, Crimea’s largest city, resulting in a complete power outage, according to city administrator Mikhail Razvozhayev. The attacks, which hit a major power station on Tuesday night, are part of a broader Ukrainian strategy to degrade Russia’s military infrastructure and pressure Moscow into peace negotiations. Sevastopol, a strategically important port city, is experiencing energy conservation measures, with residents advised to limit electricity use and check on vulnerable neighbors amid high temperatures. Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces Command reported strikes on 48 military facilities across Crimea. Simultaneously, a severe fuel shortage is impacting the region, as Ukraine attempts to isolate Crimea from mainland Russia. Authorities have halted fuel sales, leading to increased panic buying and shortages of essential goods. Despite the disruption, Razvozhayev expressed resilience, stating the city has endured worse and will persevere.
