On the night of June 29, the temporarily occupied peninsula came under a massive drone attack, according to the Telegram channel Krymskyi Veter.
Explosions were heard in several areas of the peninsula at once. In particular, in Sevastopol, eyewitnesses reported hits in the area of Kozacha Bay and in the village of Orlivka on the Northern side of the city.
At the same time, loud explosions were heard in the Bakhchysarai district – according to preliminary information, an electrical substation near the village of Nekrasivka was damaged, causing power outages in nearby settlements.
Later, a series of explosions was recorded in Kerch and Feodosia, where local residents also heard the sounds of drones flying overhead.

Over the past week, occupied Crimea has been under systematic fire pressure from the Ukrainian Defense Forces, and the recent strikes on the railway bridge became another stage of the multi-step operation to exhaust the enemy grouping, as noted by Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk.
The situation for the occupiers is complicated by a critical shortage of resources: Vladimir Putin himself publicly acknowledged supply problems, stating that fuel reserves on the peninsula would last only a few days, whereas Crimea's monthly demand is 70,000 tons.
