Crimea’s lights go out again—and Ukraine says two more Pantsirs were hit
Russia’s Energy Ministry claims a Ukrainian attack cut Crimea’s power on 4 November—the second straight night the peninsula lost supply.
During two consecutive nights this week, Crimea experienced a power outage, according to Russian sources. Simultaneously, Ukraine's General Staff claimed their forces targeted two Pantsir air defense systems in the region on both days. Sevastopol, the Black Sea Fleet's home port, is once more reliant on rationed electricity. These incidents are interconnected, as Ukrainian drone forces commander Robert "Magyar" Brovdi noted that much of Russia's Soviet-era air defense machinery operates on the power grid, leading to repeated targeting of Crimea's electrical network.
Consequently, this week's pressure on Crimea's air defense systems stemmed from two fronts: the launchers and potentially the power they rely on.
