One of the fires was located on a road south of the Chonhar Bridge, possibly caused by falling debris or a direct strike on local vehicles or equipment.
Crimean Wind added that another fire was spotted near two gas stations on the road out of Dzhankoi. Analysts noted the attack may have targeted the stations themselves or a nearby fuel tanker.
Local residents in Dzhankoi reported hearing drones, gunshots, and explosions around midnight.
Explosions rang out across temporarily occupied Crimea on the night of July 16. Occupation authorities completely shut down traffic on the Crimean Bridge during the attack. Drones reportedly struck an electrical substation in the Bakhchysarai district.
Major power and water supply outages were reported in Kerch and several districts of temporarily occupied Crimea on July 15 following a drone attack.
Ukrainian strikes on enemy power grids triggered widespread and prolonged blackouts across occupied Crimea in late June. Entire regions were left without electricity for several days, and most areas lacked clear outage schedules.
