Energy infrastructure attacked
It is reported that on the night of 5 July, several energy infrastructure facilities in occupied Crimea came under attack.
According to preliminary data, two electrical substations were attacked, and a comparison of satellite images from the past year indicates a significant reduction in night-time lighting on the peninsula.
According to available information, the target of the night-time attack was the 220 kV ‘Bakhchisaray’ substation, located in Bakhchisaray. There are also reports that the 10/35/10 kV ‘Zimino’ substation was hit.
Power cuts
In the early hours of the morning, social media users began complaining that the power had gone out in Bakhchisaray.
The images that have emerged, including those from NASA’s FIRMS thermal anomaly monitoring service, show signs of a fire in the vicinity of one of the facilities following the strike.
