The situation in occupied Crimea is deteriorating as a series of Ukrainian attacks target critical energy, fuel, rail, and military logistics systems. Reports indicate that on June 23, Ukrainian forces successfully destroyed a railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal, while multiple fires and explosions occurred in Kerch and surrounding regions. Power outages have disrupted services in Yevpatoriya, Saki, Dzhankoy, Krasnoperekopsk, and Krasnogvardeysky areas. In response, authorities aligned with Russia suspended civilian fuel sales on June 22 and 23 and postponed admissions to children's camps until September 1, highlighting the increasing strain on Crimea's supply chain.
