Multiple cities across the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula came under attack by "unknown drones" overnight. The local occupation authorities have not yet confirmed the results of the strikes, according to the OSINT Telegram channel Exilenova+.
Strikes were reported in several areas and cities across Crimea throughout the night. At least one hit was reported at the Tavriiska Thermal Power Plant near Simferopol.
The power plant was commissioned by the Russian occupation authorities in 2019 and has a generating capacity of 470 MW.
This was not the first attack on the facility. Just a month ago, "unknown drones" also targeted the site. Following that strike, both the power plant and nearby gas infrastructure caught fire.
Local residents also reported overnight drone attacks on Yalta and Feodosia, although the extent of the damage remains unknown.
