Blackout in Crimea after 2 transmission towers in Ukraine ‘blown up’
Electricity has been completely cut off in Russia’s Crimean peninsula since all power transmission line towers in the neighboring Ukrainian Kherson region were “blown up” by an unknown party, TASS reports. Right Sector militants had been rioting in the area earlier.
Crimean authorities rushed to connect hospitals and other vital infrastructure to reserve power stations and generators late on Saturday after the four main transmission lines from Ukraine were cut off in an apparent act of sabotage. The regional energy ministry has created an emergency response center to deal with the power cut.
