**Overnight, there was another attack on Crimea and Sevastopol. Governor of Sevastopol:** As a result of an enemy attack on our energy infrastructure, **the city was temporarily left without power supply.** The enemy strikes again treacherously, trying to deprive us of normal living conditions and sow panic. Special measures have been introduced at facilities, specialists are assessing the scale of damage and doing everything possible to restore power. All emergency services are on full alert. Important: ❗️Save your phone battery. Use gadgets only for emergency communication. Turn off background applications, reduce brightness to minimum. ❗️Do not overload the network. When power is restored — do not turn on all electrical appliances at once. ❗️Stay calm. Panic is what the enemy is counting on. Help those around you, especially elderly neighbors. We will not be intimidated by the absence of light. We have endured worse, and we will hold out now. [**Dva Majora**](https://t.me/dva_majors)**✨** [**Dva Majora in MAX**](https://max.ru/dva_majors)
