What happened

Ukrainian and regional monitoring outlets reported that drones struck the 500 kV Taman substation on the Taman Peninsula during the overnight 19–20 August attack wave, with imagery reported to show a fire at the site. The substation is part of the mainland transmission connection serving Russian-occupied Crimea. Outages were reported in Crimea after the attack, but the reviewed reporting did not independently establish their geographic extent, duration or exclusive causal link to this substation. Russian authorities had not published a detailed equipment-damage assessment, repair timeline or casualty report when this entry was added. The marker is approximate because a verified impact coordinate was not published. The nearby Tamanneftegaz terminal strike is recorded separately.

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.
