Kerch and its suburbs are without power after fires at four power substations at once. About 53,000 people were left without electricity. The fire engulfed energy facilities in the area of the 450 block, Mount Mitridat, and the villages of Osovyny and Bondarenkove. There is also no water in the city in the eastern part of Crimea, — pro-Kremlin Mash wrote about the event.
Explosions rang out at the Russian airfield "Mozdok".
On July 30, it also became known that drones attacked the Russian military airfield "Mozdok", located in North Ossetia.
As local residents reported, they saw traces of the launch of anti-aircraft missiles in the sky.
According to preliminary data, there are no victims among the civilian population.
The head of the republic Serhiy Menyailo Zgod said that two drones were allegedly shot down by the Russian air defense in the Mozdok district of North Ossetia, and there was allegedly no damage.
However, the videos that local residents actively publish on the Internet with their comments indicate the opposite.
For example, one of the eyewitnesses of the attack on the video states:
Something rattled, exploded — it's normal, really. It caught fire, smoke is coming...
