Recently, Intent reported that in Russian-occupied Crimea, water reserves in reservoirs began to drop sharply in early fall. Many rivers have become shallow or completely dried up due to the dry weather.

In addition, due to problems with the power grid, water supply disruptions occurred in Sudak and a number of other settlements on the peninsula. Meanwhile, in Krasnoperekopsk, water service was restricted in some homes due to emergency repair work.

As a reminder, On the night of July 19, the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces struck 13electrical substations—eight of which are located in the temporarily occupied Crimea—and also hit four vessels of Russia’s “shadow fleet” in the Black Sea.
