The Liga source stated that the occupying authorities denying this are lying. According to Sevastopol’s head of occupation authorities, Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev, the power outage on several streets was due to a “technological disruption at the district substation,” meaning a short circuit.

Earlier today, Razvozhaev wrote that Ukrainian social media users were claiming success in blowing up a substation that left a few streets in Sevastopol without electricity, further claiming the following:

“It was a technological disruption at the district substation. To put it simply – a short circuit. “Sevastopolenergo” early in the morning gave the relevant information […]. At 6:42 the power was already restored everywhere. Everything is working in normal mode.”

RBC Ukraine reported earlier that witnesses reported hearing two explosions at 2:05 a.m. in Sevastopol, leading to a power outage in the area. Subsequent reports on social media groups indicated problems at the substation, with preliminary malfunctions noted.
