Situation in Dzhankoi
In Dzhankoi, on the occupied Crimean peninsula, a 330 kV substation was hit on January 13. As a result of the attack on this important energy junction infrastructure, a large fire broke out, leading to the disconnection of electricity supply in Dzhankoi and several surrounding settlements. The village of Azovske remained supplied with electricity from the 110 kV substation 'Nyzhnihirska'.
Explosions and Consequences
This event occurred against the backdrop of a series of explosions recorded on the night of January 12 in the area of the military airfield 'Belbek'. According to information, Ukraine's Security Service struck two Russian Su-27 aircraft, one of which was ready for combat takeoff. As a result of these events, there were also issues with internet access on the peninsula.
The 330 kV substation 'Dzhankoy' is an important energy hub in northeastern Crimea, and its failure can significantly impact the energy situation in the region. These events are unfolding against the backdrop of ongoing hostilities, in particular, on December 19, the Defense Forces of Ukraine struck a Russian military ship of project 22460 'Okhotnik'.
The failure of the 330 kV substation 'Dzhankoy' may lead to serious consequences for the energy stability of Crimea and also affect the morale of the population living under occupation.
