Overnight, drones operated by Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces struck Sevastopol's main power substation, according to Robert Brovdi (call sign Madyar), commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces.
"Sevastopol's main power substation, which distributes electricity generated by the Balaklava Thermal Power Plant (330/220/110/35 kV Sevastopol substation), got tired during the night of June 24. There will be no movie, and, as it turns out, there is never too much electricity," he wrote.
The strike was carried out by operators of the 1st Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces in coordination with the newly established Deep Strike Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces.
Madyar noted that during the night, drones struck 48 operational and planned enemy military targets in the southern occupied territories.
Fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine's Special Operations Forces, together with members of the Resistance Movement, destroyed a strategically important railway bridge across the North Crimean Canal near the village of Rozdolne.
The operation was conducted in two stages. On the night of June 22, Special Operations Forces drones disabled one of the bridge spans, and the following night they carried out a second strike on the remains of the bridge and on specialized railway equipment that the Russians had brought in to restore the rail line.
Units of the Unmanned Systems Forces, including Madyar's Birds, Nemesis, and other units, also carried out a large-scale operation in Crimea. In a single night, they struck more than 60 important military facilities in Russia.
Over the weekend, Ukrainian forces attacked gas distribution stations, oil terminals, air defense systems, and logistics infrastructure used by Russian forces on the occupied peninsula.
