The city of Sevastopol in Russia-annexed Crimea and Moscow-held parts of the Ukrainian region of Kherson were facing power outages on Wednesday, the Kremlin-installed authorities said, adding ​to fuel shortages as Kyiv intensifies attacks.

Sevastopol, the biggest city ​on the Crimea peninsula that Russia annexed in 2014, was ⁠left with no power after Ukraine attacked energy facilities there, Mikhail Razvozhayev, the ​city's Russian-installed governor, said on Telegram.

Sevastopol was under drone attack, he said earlier ​on Wednesday, and the nearby Russian-held parts of Ukraine's Kherson region were also partially or fully cut off from power, the Moscow-installed Governor Vladimir Saldo said separately.
