Details: Saldo blamed Ukraine for attacking energy infrastructure.

Almost all major cities in Crimea are without power: Simferopol, Kerch, Feodosiia, Armiansk, Dzhankoi and Yevpatoriia.

No power outages in Sevastopol have been reported.

Ukrainian drone attacks were also cited as the cause of the power outages in Crimea.

Background: On 6 July, Crimea's occupation authorities stated they could not provide "clear timeframes for the full restoration of electricity supply" on the southern coast of Crimea and that publishing electricity supply schedules was not possible.
