A Crimea resident told the BBC the situation on the peninsula is 'catastrophic' as Ukrainian drones strike oil refineries, power plants, and military targets. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing BBC News.
Strikes on Russian-annexed Crimea have increased significantly in recent weeks, partly to cut off supply lines to Russian troops attacking Ukraine from the south.
Eastern Europe correspondent Sarah Rainsford explains why Kyiv is striking now and why the peninsula matters to Vladimir Putin personally.
