Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces continued large-scale strikes against energy infrastructure in temporarily occupied territories. Over the last 48 hours, from July 23 to 24, another 19 energy nodes in Crimea and the Donetsk region were successfully hit.

### Scale of the campaign

Information about the results of the strikes was confirmed by the Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of Ukraine, Robert Brovdi, known by the callsign 'Madyar'. In his Telegram channel, he published data stating that during the period from July 1 to 24, as part of the special operation 'Crimea Switch Off', 136 energy targets were destroyed or disabled.

This indicates the systematic nature of the attacks aimed at destabilizing the enemy's power grid. The latest series of strikes continued the successful operations of previous days: on July 21–22, drones hit 13 energy nodes, and on July 20, another 19 objects were targeted.

### Video evidence of results

The results of strikes on energy facilities in Crimea and the Donetsk region on July 23–24 were recorded on video. A clip demonstrating the aftermath of the attacks was published on Robert Brovdi's Facebook page. The footage shows the consequences of hits on substations and power lines, confirming the effectiveness of using unmanned systems under these conditions.

Operation 'Crimea Switch Off' demonstrates the growing role of drones in modern warfare, allowing for precision strikes against critically important enemy infrastructure objects located deep in the rear.
