# Night Raid on Crimea: Strikes on Tavria TPP and Attacks on Resort Cities

### Massive Attacks on the Peninsula's Infrastructure

On the night of July 23, a series of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) strikes were recorded on the Crimean Peninsula, temporarily occupied by Russia. The attacks occurred simultaneously in several cities and districts, hitting critical infrastructure. Local occupation authorities have not yet provided official confirmation of the strike results; however, OSINT channel data and reports from residents indicate the scale of the operation.

According to an RBC-Ukraine source citing the Exilenova+ channel, the strikes hit various points across the peninsula. In particular, damage to the Tavria Thermal Power Plant, located near Simferopol, has been confirmed.

### Strike on Crimea's Energy Heart

The Tavria TPP is a key object of the peninsula's power system. Put into operation by the occupiers back in 2019, the plant has a capacity of 470 MW and plays a crucial role in the region's power supply. This is not the first attack on this facility: just a month ago, it was also struck, resulting in fires at both the power plant and adjacent gas infrastructure.

### Attacks on Resort Cities

In addition to energy facilities, populated areas were also targeted. Local residents report night attacks in Yalta and Feodosia. At this time, the exact results of the strikes on these cities remain unknown, but the use of UAVs in these areas has been confirmed.

### Operation "Crimean Switch Off"

These events are unfolding within the context of daily operations by the Armed Forces of Ukraine under the code name "Crimean Switch Off." Over the past few days, Ukrainian forces have struck approximately 20 objects on the temporarily occupied territory of the peninsula. Statistics for the period from July 21 to 22 show that unmanned systems managed to disable 13 energy nodes in Crimea and other parts of the occupied territories, continuing systematic pressure on the enemy's energy system.
