Attacks on the occupied Crimea
The Crimean peninsula has been occupied by the Russians since 2014. There have been several attacks on Russian military targets in recent weeks.
The US Institute for War Studies (ISW) reported that Russian authorities are visibly tightening security measures in Crimea, which demonstrates growing concern about Ukrainian strikes in areas previously considered safe. In Sevastopol, the Russians created, among other things, checkpoints to search Ukrainian cars for fear of sabotage.
