Authorities in Russian-annexed Crimea on Friday declared an “emergency situation” in a bid to help mitigate the fallout from increasing Ukrainian aerial attacks on the peninsula.

“A decision has been made… to sign decrees declaring a regional-level emergency situation in the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol,” the Moscow-installed governor Sergey Aksyonov said in a post on Telegram, published a day after he announced power outages across Crimea due to the attacks.
