Zymyne substation — drone-attack fire

Zymyne, Rozdolne district, Russian-occupied Crimea, Ukraine

What happened

Monitoring groups reported a drone attack and fire at the Zymyne substation, which distributes electricity to settlements in northwestern Crimea. NASA FIRMS detected a thermal anomaly at the facility during the attack window. Sources described the installation inconsistently as 35/10 kV and 110/35/10 kV, so the voltage is not asserted in the marker title. No casualty report, equipment-damage assessment or restoration timeline 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.
