Ukrainian partisans have disrupted power supply to a Russian military base in occupied Mariupol, Donetsk Oblast, city mayoral adviser Petro Andriushchenko said in a Telegram post on Sept. 25.

"In Mariupol, the resistance has neutralized transformer substations between [Mariupol district] and Stariy Krym village, which provided the occupants' base with electricity," Andriushchenko wrote.

He published a photo from the occupied city, showing thick black smoke rising on the horizon — presumably from the damaged transformer.

“The fiery resistance was accompanied by vivid special effects in the form of black smoke and, as a result, an increased level of anxiety,” Andriushchenko concludes.

Earlier, the official reported that Russian troops are building fortifications near Mariupol.
