Crimea faces power and heating outages after grid damage

Crimea is experiencing power outages due to an accident, leaving residents without heating and electricity as temperatures drop. No date has been announced for restoring normal service. The regional energy company says electricity is being supplied "as technically possible" after damage to external main grids. Night temperatures are forecast to reach 1–6 degrees Celsius on November 5, and school holidays in Sevastopol have been extended. Officials attribute the outages to attacks on energy infrastructure outside the peninsula. Residents report hours without power, water, and heating, with some gas boilers failing after outages. Charging points have been set up across Sevastopol.
