Crimea brings back public street phones for emergency calls

In Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014 and remains under Ukrainian attacks, local authorities have installed public street phones for emergency calls due to ongoing power outages and fuel shortages. These shortages stem from Ukrainian drone strikes targeting Russian supply chains and infrastructure. The situation has led to disruptions like canceled children's summer camps and reduced operating hours at cafes and public transport. While both Russia and Ukraine claim to avoid civilian casualties, reports indicate recent drone attacks have injured civilians. Local residents view the new phones as a potential safety measure during emergencies.
