Complete Blackout Hits Crimea’s Kerch After New Ukrainian Strikes

A wave of Ukrainian strikes knocked out power across Crimea after damaging energy infrastructure, and Kerch was among the hardest hit, according to Kremlin-installed authorities. A woman was reported killed and others wounded in the overnight attack on Kerch, while local officials said electricity could be restored only in stages using backup lines. The blackout follows earlier Ukrainian efforts targeting power facilities on the peninsula, with an ongoing emergency in Crimea and Sevastopol as repairs continue.
