An emergency situation has been declared in Qrim due to strong attacks

Following Ukraine's recent powerful attacks, a state of emergency was introduced in annexed Crimea starting at 1:00 PM on June 26, as reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by The Moscow Times. According to the outlet, several days of attacks have caused power outages in parts of the peninsula.

This has left local residents facing a range of problems, from fuel shortages to restrictions on public transportation. Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev announced in a video message sent via Telegram that a state of emergency had been declared across the entire city.

He said the regime will remain in effect until the situation stabilizes. Crimea's leader, Sergey Aksyonov, also confirmed in his address that a state of emergency had been declared throughout the region.

According to him, the decision will facilitate the process of compensating for property damage and allow economic issues to be resolved more quickly. Razvozhayev added that this measure grants businesses the right to officially suspend their operations.

Additionally, residents will be able to claim compensation for household appliances damaged due to power outages. In extreme cases, authorities will also have the authority to restrict citizens' movement.

As a result of Ukrainian attacks on energy infrastructure, power has been intermittently cut off in Crimea for over a week. Consequently, residents have been urged to conserve electricity.

At the same time, specialists are working to restore the power grids. According to Razvozhayev, power outages have also led to reduced water pressure in some areas of Sevastopol.

Once power is stabilized, the water system is expected to be fully restored. Furthermore, on the morning of June 26, sea passenger transport in Sevastopol Bay was temporarily halted.

In addition, serious congestion has formed on the Kerch Bridge, which connects Crimea to Russia. According to reports, more than 2,000 vehicles are stuck in line, forcing drivers to wait approximately five hours.

According to reports, Ukraine has intensified its drone attacks on the region in recent weeks. The strikes have primarily targeted military fuel trucks and fuel depots supplying Crimea from the north, further worsening the fuel shortage in the peninsula.
