The Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue their systematic campaign to disable the energy infrastructure of occupied Crimea.

This was announced by the Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Major Robert “Madyar” Brovdi.

According to him, since the beginning of the operation — from July 1 to July 7 — USF units have already struck 44 energy infrastructure facilities in occupied Crimea and the south of the temporarily occupied territories.

“On July 7, the ‘Crimean Power Switch’ operation paid courtesy visits to five electrical substations and one gas distribution station. The occupier has no use for electrical outlets”, — Robert Brovdi said.

Among the targets hit were:

  • 35/10 kV Chkalove Substation — struck by the 9th Kairos Battalion of the 414th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade “Madyar’s Birds”;
  • 330 kV West Crimean Substation near Kariyerne — struck by the 412th Separate USF Brigade Nemesis;
  • 110 kV Saky Substation and 220 kV Komysh-Burun Substation in Kerch — struck by the 1st Separate USF Center;
  • 110 kV Mytiaieve Substation — struck by the Nemesis Brigade;
  • Tasunovo Gas Compressor Station — struck by the 1st Separate USF Center.

In addition to attacks on energy infrastructure, Ukrainian drones continued hunting Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov.

According to Robert Brovdi, pilots of the 9th Kairos Battalion struck the vessel MS Ivan Cheremisinov, which became the eighth target in this series of maritime strikes.

The USF commander also reported strikes on two additional Russian tankers. According to him, the total number of targeted vessels has now reached 12, with further details of the operation to be released later.
