Drone strike leaves occupied Sevastopol in blackout

A Ukrainian drone strike on Aug. 13 caused a complete power outage in Sevastopol, the former primary base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in occupied Crimea. The city's energy infrastructure was targeted, with explosions heard near a mobile gas-turbine power plant and a substation. Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev confirmed the incident, citing damage to the Balaklava thermal power plant.

This attack is part of a series of drone strikes in Russian-occupied Crimea, including one in Feodosia on July 28 and restrictions on electricity supply in Sevastopol on July 27.
