A Ukrainian attack has caused disruptions to water and power supplies on the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula. Attacks have also been reported in several locations across Russia.
Overnight Ukrainian strikes left large parts of Crimea in the dark after a transformer substation in southern Russia was hit, reports The Kyiv Independent.
Network monitor NetBlocks confirmed overnight that the internet was down in Crimea.
Additionally, a petrochemical plant in the Samara region, an airfield in Krasnodar, and a major electronics factory in Oryol were reportedly attacked by Ukraine late Friday or overnight into Saturday. In occupied Kharkiv, in northeastern Ukraine, three people have been killed, according to a Russian-installed governor on Telegram.
According to the Ministry of Defence in Moscow, Russian air defenses have shot down a total of over 600 Ukrainian drones, with approximately 80 of them downed over the southern Rostov region.
