<span><span><span><span><span><span>This was reported by the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Major Robert “Madyar” Borvdi.</span></span></span></span></span></span>
<span><span><span><span><span><span>According to Brovdi, 11 power distribution nodes—substations of various capacities—were struck: 9 power substations, a strategic power transfer point on the Kuban-Crimea power bridge from the Russian Federation, a gas pumping station, as well as S-400 systems, Pantsir-S1, Tor-M2, and two Nebo-U radar systems.</span></span></span></span></span></span>
<span><span><span><span><span><span>The “Kuban-Crimea” power transmission point (in the village of Glazivka) supplied power to the peninsula from Russian territory. It became one of the strategic targets of the Unmanned Systems Forces. As a result, the peninsula experienced power outages. The most power outages were recorded in Sevastopol, Simferopol, and Kerch. The occupying authorities introduced rolling blackouts and attributed the restrictions to grid overloads.</span></span></span></span></span></span>
