On the night of Sunday, June 21, a series of explosions rang out in various areas of the temporarily occupied Crimea. Local residents reported another attack by unmanned aerial vehicles, according to the Telegram channel Krymskyi Veter.

According to the Krymskyi Veter, the sounds of explosions and the operation of the occupiers' air defense systems were heard in several major cities and districts of the peninsula.

In particular, residents of Kerch, Bakhchysarai, Sevastopol, Simferopol, as well as the Nyzhniohirsk, Krasnohvardiysk, and Krasnoperekopsk districts reported air defense activity.

Due to the air threat, the Russian forces were forced to urgently halt traffic on the Crimean Bridge.

No official information regarding the consequences of the night strikes or damage to facilities has been released by the occupation administration so far.

On the night of June 20, the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out successful strikes on four gas compressor stations (GCS) in occupied Crimea. According to the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert "Madyar" Brovdi, the GCS in Zhuravlivka, Aromatne, Klyuchi, and Lokhivka came under fire.

Ukrainian drones also targeted Russian logistics: a road bridge across the Henichesk Strait in Henichesk was struck, a fuel tanker in Chaplynka was hit, as well as Russian logistics transport in Armyansk and Chaplynka.
