Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russia-appointed head of occupied Sevastopol, said the city did not have enough electricity even to maintain a schedule of two hours of power followed by six hours without it. Restrictions were reintroduced after overnight strikes on November 3.
Razvozhayev said energy infrastructure outside the city had been damaged. Sevastopol receives much of its electricity from elsewhere. Restrictions had briefly been lifted the previous evening, but the earlier schedule could not be restored after the latest attack.
Outages also affected other parts of Russian-occupied Crimea. Local utility Krymenergo reported interruptions in Alushta, Saky and Yevpatoria.
