The port city of Sevastopol in occupied Crimea came under attack for the third night in a row, occupation authorities reported on May 17.

Dozens of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and naval drones targeted Sevastopol and nearby Balaklava in the early hours of May 17, causing partial blackouts, Mikhail Razvozhayev the Russian-installed head of Sevastopol, claimed via Telegram.

Debris from a falling drone hit the Sevastopol substation, Razvozhayev said. Equipment at the substation had to be shut down, triggering the power outages.

Russian air defense units destroyed “dozens” of UAVs and over five naval drones using small arms, Razvozhayev claimed.

No casualties were reported. Razvozhayev said that emergency services are monitoring the situation and technicians are working to restore the power supply.

This marks the third attack in two days against occupied Sevastopol. Occupation officials and local Telegram channels reported attacks on Russia’s Belbek military airfield outside Sevastopol overnight on May 15 and later that evening.

The partisan group Atesh said that the attacks damaged the airfield’s main missile and artillery depot.

In recent months, Ukraine has intensified its attacks on occupied Crimea, targeting Russian military assets in and around the Black Sea.

  1. The Crimeans who side with mafia land and the roaches themselves are reminded who the peninsula belongs to.
    I hope that the Ukrainians aren’t losing sight of the many other important targets besides the ones on Crimea.

    • The nazi invaders appear to be losing some military options. Maybe we can’t stop all their missiles yet but we can target the planes firing them. I think we will cover the bridge soon too.

      • Seeing that our sanctions have done next to nothing to stop the roaches from building as many missiles as they need, destroying the missile carriers is the next best option.
