At night, unknown people blew up a railway track in the Feodosia area. The undermining of the railway line in Crimea took place in the area of the village of Stepove — the railway line to Feodosia was cut off. This was confirmed to "Babel" in the Main Directorate of Intelligence, adding that "more to come".
The occupying authorities of Crimea informed that the railway had been damaged — the movement of trains was temporarily stopped, the head of the occupation administration of the peninsula Serhiy Aksionov noted.
His adviser Oleh Kryuchkov added that "two morning trains have been canceled due to damage to the canvas. Passengers from Feodosia and Vladyslavivka stations will be sent by buses."
The occupiers do not say what caused the damage to the railroad, but the locals say they heard an explosion.
- On May 18, an explosion occurred on the railway near Bakhchisaray. According to British intelligence, the detonation of the railway could disrupt the delivery of goods and weapons, such as Kalibr cruise missiles, for the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation.
- On May 20, there were explosions in Dzhankoy near the railway branch, which is used to supply equipment and ammunition to the occupying forces. This was confirmed by Ukrainian intelligence: the Main Directorate of Intelligence stated that as a result of the explosions, the Russian Kalibr cruise missiles were destroyed during their transportation.
