Summary
More than 15 explosions were reported in Simferopol within about 20 minutes overnight, with bright flashes seen near the Tavriyskaya Thermal Power Plant.
Jet-powered drones were reported flying over Simferopol toward the plant, suggesting the blasts were linked to an apparent attack on energy infrastructure.
Power outages then hit Sevastopol, Dzhankoi, Simferopol and Kerch, extending disruption across several parts of occupied Crimea.
No official confirmation of strikes or damage was immediately available, though the incident followed a large-scale blackout across Crimea the same night.
