Sevastopol Left Without Electricity Sunday Evening

Sevastopol was plunged into darkness on Sunday evening when a "technological malfunction" occurred within Crimea's main power transmission network, according to the electricity provider "Sevastopolenergo."

The Black Sea regional dispatch center mandated substantial power supply limitations. In response, Sevastopolenergo stated that emergency repair work prevented them from maintaining the planned electricity rotation schedule. Consequently, both groups of consumers, which divide Sevastopol's electricity network, were completely disconnected from the grid.

As of Sunday evening, the occupying authorities had not offered any timeline for the restoration of electricity supply. This widespread outage adds to existing energy problems in the region. Previously, the city of Dzhankoy and its surrounding district in occupied Crimea had been without electricity for seven consecutive days.

Further complicating the energy situation, a drone attack on Friday night caused a fire at the Moinaki substation in Yevpatoria, leaving the city and nearby settlements without power. Additionally, Ukrainian drone forces reportedly attacked a key facility connecting the power grids of Kuban and Crimea.
