"As a result of the enemy attack on our energy infrastructure, the city was temporarily left without electricity," he said.
According to eyewitness reports and monitoring channels, a series of powerful explosions were heard across Crimea throughout the night. Preliminary information indicates that the Balaklava Thermal Power Plant (TPP) was the main target of the attack.
Commenting on the situation, Razvozhayev also stated:
"We will not be intimidated by a power outage. We've been through worse and we will endure this as well."
The extent of the damage to the Balaklava Thermal Power Plant (TPP) is currently being assessed. Representatives of the occupying authorities are attempting to reassure residents while urging them to conserve their mobile phone battery power.
According to preliminary information, no casualties have been reported.
In addition to Sevastopol, explosions were also heard overnight in Bakhchysarai, Kerch, and near Mount Ai-Petri, where a radar station of a radio-technical battalion of the Russian Aerospace Forces is located.
There were also reports of explosions and a fire in the area of a thermal power plant in Simferopol.
It is worth noting that on the eve of the attack, on the evening of June 23, Oleg Kryuchkov, the so-called adviser to the "head" of occupied Crimea, announced the "preventive" introduction of rolling blackout schedules across the peninsula.
According to preliminary reports, approximately half of Crimea was left without electricity.
Earlier, Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces reported strikes on fuel storage tanks at the Kerch Thermal Power Plant (TPP) and the 330/110 kV Western Crimea electrical substation.
In addition, on the night of June 23, units of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces struck more than 60 enemy targets. Among them were air defense systems, Orion drones, fuel and energy infrastructure facilities, and Russian military logistics assets.
