On the night of July 24, occupied Crimea was massively attacked by drones. As a result of the attack, a fire at a Wildberries warehouse has already been reported, according to Russian Telegram channels and OSINT public pages.
According to the posts, the threat of drone attacks arose as early as the evening, after 10:20 PM. Within an hour, explosions were heard in several cities at once.
In particular, explosions were heard in Sevastopol; a strike may have occurred in the port area of Feodosia, and in Simferopol, a fire was visible in the area of the DRES (district power plant – likely a thermal power plant was attacked).

Situation in Crimea
On July 19, it became known that Ukrainian drones had almost completely paralyzed the operation of the Kerch ferry crossing. Of the five ferries that ensured enemy logistics, most were destroyed or seriously damaged.
Russia is increasingly tightening control over occupied Crimea. It has become known that in some cities, mobile communication and internet access will only be available for part of the day.
