Summary
Crimea’s occupation authorities halted civilian petrol sales, imposed rolling power cuts and shut children’s summer camps through Sept. 1 as infrastructure damage spread across the peninsula.
Sunday’s restrictions followed Ukrainian drone and missile strikes on oil terminals, gas compressors and radar systems, with outages reported in Crimea’s northwest, central and south coast energy districts.
Ukrainian officials said a June 21 strike also set ablaze the tank farm and oil depot at Port of Kavkaz in Russia’s Krasnodar region, a key fuel supply point for occupied Crimea and southern Ukraine.
The campaign fits Kyiv’s broader effort to sever Crimea from Russian logistics via the Kerch Strait and occupied southern Ukraine, raising pressure on Moscow’s most symbolically important wartime prize.
