What happened

Monitoring groups reported a drone attack and fire at the 220 kV Bakhchysarai substation, a distribution hub linked to transmission lines between Simferopol and Sevastopol. NASA FIRMS detected a heat signature at the facility after drone alerts, and Russian-installed authorities acknowledged regional power disruption while calling it a technological disturbance. No casualty report or detailed equipment-damage assessment was published.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
