Mass blackouts reported across occupied Crimea

A significant blackout affected Crimea on October 24 following an attack on the Taman electrical substation in southern Russia, which supplies power to the region. Major cities like Sevastopol and Yalta experienced outages, and internet disruptions were also reported. While local authorities initially claimed power was restored, residents later reported continued blackouts. Another drone strike targeted energy infrastructure in Rostov Oblast, causing additional outages. The situation remains unverified by independent sources, and Crimea has faced similar power issues in the past due to ongoing conflicts.
