Russian-installed authorities in Crimea declared a state of emergency on June 26 due to fuel shortages and security concerns. The move comes after a series of Ukrainian drone attacks targeting power plants and substations in the occupied peninsula, which resulted in power outages for half of the region.

Gas stations across Crimea have stopped selling fuel to the public and businesses since June 21. The authorities have also announced the suspension of tourism and children's summer camps until September, citing the ongoing fuel crisis and security issues.

Ukraine has intensified its drone attacks on Russian infrastructure in Crimea in recent months, aiming to disrupt Russian logistics and military operations. The effectiveness of these tactics appears to be escalating, prompting the emergency declaration and significant disruptions to daily life on the peninsula.
