“The 330 kV Ostrovske substation near the village of Ostrovske in the Pervomaiske district was on fire. This is the most important power distribution hub on the peninsula,” the message says.
It is noted that this substation was already damaged on January 15, when power was lost in four districts: Dzhankoi, Pervomaiske, Krasnohvardiiske, and Rozdolnenske.
In addition, a fire was reported on the peninsula near the village of Pushkine in the Kurman (formerly Krasnohvardiiske) district, not far from the Vesele Airfield. The Russians began actively using the inactive airfield after the start of the full-scale war.
According to Russian media, drones were spotted in the area at night.
It is also reported that on the evening of March 5, due to a drone attack, part of Sevastopol was left without electricity, and explosions and gunfire were heard at the Belbek Airfield.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that 56 UAVs were allegedly shot down over occupied Crimea at night.
As reported by Ukrinform, on the night of March 5, the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the base of the S-400 anti-aircraft missile system in Orlivka in the temporarily occupied Crimea and several Russian warehouses in the Donetsk region.
