A local thermal power plant may also have been targeted. As noted by “Crimean Wind,” the substation supplies electricity to settlements in the Kirovsky District and powers a pumping station near the Feodosia Reservoir.

Amid fuel shortages and power outages in the temporarily occupied Crimea, the cost of tickets for certain intercity bus routes more than doubled in the second half of July. Due to power outages, ticket agents are often forced to issue tickets manually, which leads to long lines. Payment terminals also stop working during power outages, so passengers have to pay in cash.
