Strike on Balaklava TPP: Ukrainian special forces hit Crimea's energy infrastructure

On the night of July 14, the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces struck the Balaklava Thermal Power Plant in Sevastopol, which accounts for almost 50% of Crimea's electricity generation. The attack resulted in damage to the machine shop, potentially leading to repairs lasting up to 5 months. This significantly complicates the energy supply for Russian forces on the peninsula.
