Alert sounded in Crimean region due to potential drone danger
In the turbulent landscape of Crimea, a region that has seen its fair share of conflict, a new front has emerged: drone warfare. As reported by Sergey Les, the head of the Crimean district, on his Telegram channel, the region has been witnessing an escalation in drone activity, with Ukrainian drones targeting Russian military infrastructure.
Recent events have seen a significant blow to Russian defenses, with the destruction of a rare and advanced Russian S-500 air defense radar system (the 98L6 Yenisei unit) on August 7, 2025. This incident, which took place over the Crimean peninsula, was a major setback for the Russian forces.
Local reports indicate that drone presence has been felt in areas such as Feodosia and the Kerch region, accompanied by explosions, air defense responses, and temporary closures of key infrastructure like the Crimean (Kerch) Bridge.
The night of August 13-14 saw a continuation of this activity, with Russian air defenses intercepting and destroying several Ukrainian drones over Crimea. A total of seven drones were downed over the peninsula, part of a broader drone barrage targeting Russian-occupied territories.
The current situation, according to Sergey Les' updates and corroborating sources, paints a picture of Crimea as an active theater of Ukrainian drone strikes and corresponding Russian air defense countermeasures. Critical infrastructure and military assets are being targeted and defended regularly.
It's important to note that a single siren activation in the region serves as a drone danger signal, signaling the need for vigilance and preparedness among the local population.
As the situation continues to evolve, it is clear that the drone war in Crimea is far from over, and both sides are digging in for a tense standoff.
