Russia-installed Sevastopol governor Mikhail Razvozhayev declared an air-raid alert and reported a drone attack on the occupied city.
According to the Krymsky Veter , drones may have been targeting Russian air-defense positions on the Fedyukhiny Heights near the Balaklava Thermal Power Plant outside Sevastopol.
Energy infrastructure reportedly targeted in Yalta
Explosions were also reported in the southern resort city of Yalta.
The Ukrainian monitoring channel Exilenova+ reported that Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces were continuing strikes against energy infrastructure in occupied Yalta.
The extent of any damage was not immediately clear, and Ukrainian authorities had not publicly confirmed the specific targets at the time of publication.
The latest reports come amid a sustained Ukrainian campaign against Russian military, logistics and energy infrastructure across occupied Crimea.
Recent Ukrainian drone and missile attacks have contributed to major electricity, water and fuel disruptions across parts of the peninsula.
Another night of pressure on occupied Crimea
Crimea remains a key target for Ukrainian long-range strikes because Russia uses the occupied peninsula to support military operations against Ukraine, including through airfields, naval facilities, logistics routes and air-defense positions.
