In occupied Crimea, Russia, and Ukraine, over half a million people are grappling with power outages following a severe storm in the Black Sea region.
The storm, described as the
most powerful in recorded history by Russia’s national meteorological service,
flooded roads, uprooted trees, and brought down power lines. As a result, more
than 2,000 towns and villages in 16 Ukrainian regions, including Odesa,
Mykolaiv, and Kyiv, faced electricity disruptions.
The Ukrainian port city of
Odesa witnessed the collapse of a 110-meter chimney, adding to the damage from
Moscow’s military campaign. At least three people lost their lives during the
storm, with widespread power cuts affecting millions across Southern Russia and
occupied Ukrainian territories. Crimea declared a state of emergency,
evacuating hundreds, while in Sevastopol, an aquarium suffered flooding,
resulting in the death of nearly 800 exotic fish.
The Caspian Pipeline Consortium
also suspended crude oil loading at the Novorossiysk port due to adverse
weather conditions.
