Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) of the Armed Forces targeted nine electrical substations in temporarily occupied Crimea overnight, according to Commander Robert 'Magyar' Brovdi.

Among the targets were a gas compressor station in Kliuchi and substations in Saki and Staryi Krym, with power outages reported in multiple settlements on the occupied peninsula.

The 'authorities' of the annexed peninsula claimed 'accidents' in the power grids, contradicting reports of deliberate strikes.

The strikes, which also targeted the Saky air base and destroyed seven jets, were reported by monitoring groups and Commander Brovdi on July 3.

The actions aim to disrupt Russian military operations and civilian life in the occupied territory, according to Ukrainian officials.
