Details: Residents across occupied Crimea reported hearing drones flying over several towns and cities overnight. Explosions were also heard in Kerch and near the Simferopol Thermal Power Plant.

According to Razvozhayev, the attack targeted energy infrastructure outside Sevastopol, leaving the city without electricity.

"Due to the lack of power in the grid, trolleybuses will not operate this morning," Razvozhayev said.

Background: On the night of 2-3 July, Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces carried out multiple strikes against Russian occupation forces' facilities in temporarily occupied Crimea.
