An electrical substation was struck in the settlement of Nyzhniohirskyi in Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014, leaving part of the region without power, according to Ukrainian media reports.
Details on the cause of the strike, the extent of damage, and the scale of the resulting outages were not immediately available.
Crimea's energy infrastructure has been targeted multiple times amid the broader Russia-Ukraine war, with both sides reporting periodic attacks on power facilities in contested or occupied areas.
Authorities have not yet released an official estimate of how many residents or businesses were affected by the outage, or how long repairs are expected to take.
The incident adds to a pattern of infrastructure disruptions reported across the region since the start of the full-scale war in 2022.
