From July 1 to July 5, SBS fighters hit 37 energy nodes in Crimea and in the south.
The Unmanned Systems Forces confirmed the strike on the "Simferopolskaya" electrical substation and two fuel tankers in the Sea of Azov, reports UNN citing information from the Commander of the USF of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Robert "Magyar" Brovdi.
According to him, from July 1 to July 5, USF fighters struck 37 power units in Crimea and the southern occupied territories.
"On the night of July 6, during a massive missile strike on Ukraine, forces and means of the Freedom-Loving Ukrainian Bird of the 1st OC USF, the 9th battalion 'Kairos' of the 414th brigade 'Magyar's Birds', the 412th brigade 'Nemesis' and 'Phoenix' carried out a massive effective strike on a key facility of the main power grid, the 330 kV substation 'Simferopolskaya' in Simferopol, Autonomous Republic of Crimea," reported "Magyar".
He also reported the strike on two tankers in the Sea of Azov that brought gasoline to the peninsula. He promised to provide details of this strike later.
We add
The Defense Forces of Ukraine are methodically striking energy facilities in occupied Crimea.
After the attack on the night of July 6, according to local public reports, the entire peninsula was left without electricity, and in some areas communication also disappeared.
It should be added that during June, Ukrainian military, using Ukrainian-made middle-strike UAVs, already struck key Crimean bridges near Chongar and Armyansk. The strikes were carried out using FP-2 drones, manufactured by Fire Point, and "Behemoth". The bridge connecting the Kherson region with Crimea in Chongar was hit twice – on the night of June 6-7, and also on the night of June 9.
In addition, on June 8, the bridge leading from Henichesk to the Arabat Spit came under attack. Two more bridges across the North Crimean Canal – near the settlements of Preobrazhenka and Myrne near Armyansk – were attacked on June 11.
In addition, on the night of June 13, the "Dzhankoi" checkpoint, a railway bridge, and a pontoon crossing were struck.
On the night of June 22, the railway bridge across the North Crimean Canal was destroyed.
The series of strikes on bridges and logistics routes connecting temporarily occupied Crimea with the mainland part of Ukraine became the next stage of the Ukrainian strategy to isolate the Russian group in the south.
