Due to a prolonged power outage following attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, a state of emergency has been declared in occupied Alushta (Crimea), according to a statement by the local operational headquarters on Telegram. According to the statement, “Krymenergo” has already submitted a list of customers who have been without power for more than 48 hours (excluding the villages of Solnechnogorskoye, Malorechenskoye, Rybachye, Generalskoye, and Lesnoye) to the Crimean Ministry of Labor and the regional office of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, and starting July 27, residents will be able to apply for compensation through “Gosuslugi.”
According to a statement from “Krymenergo,” a difficult situation is also being observed in other areas: in the northwest, east, and south of Crimea. Additionally, the press service of the Crimean State Unitary Enterprise “Voda Kryma” reported water shortages in the west and southeast of the region—in Yevpatoria, Sudak, Feodosia, and neighboring settlements.
The day before, the commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces Robert “Madyar” Brovdi reported on Telegram regarding Operation “Crimean Circuit Breaker Off”: Between July 23 and 24 alone, 19 power facilities were struck (17 in Crimea, 2 in other occupied territories); from July 1 through 24, a total of 136 targets were hit. Among those attacked were substations in Yalta, Gurzuf, Feodosia, Yevpatoria, Sudak, and other settlements.
