Crimea's Saki Thermal Power Plant Damaged in Attack

The Saki thermal power plant in Crimea suffered extensive damage following an attack on the night of June 28. Monitoring group "Krymskyj Veter" reported, citing satellite imagery, that the main building of the power plant was completely destroyed by fire.

In addition to the main structure, one fuel storage tank was obliterated, and another sustained damage. Observers noted the absence of smoke emanating from the plant's chimneys, indicating that the thermal power station is currently non-operational. The attack reportedly involved 16 explosions within an hour, accompanied by flashes of light and a large fire.

The Saki thermal power plant is identified as the primary producer of thermal energy for the city of Saki and its surrounding district. Crimea is currently experiencing rolling power outage schedules due to disruptions in electricity supply and fuel shortages, which have also led to widespread internet connectivity issues across the peninsula.
