A view of Yalta, the major resort city of the Crimean peninsula, on June 18, 2023. - The Balaklava Bay in Moscow-annexed Crimea, known for its astounding natural beauty, is almost empty of beach-goers in mid-June, spelling another disastrous summer tourism season on the peninsula seized by the Kremlin in 2014.

Crimea, now major logistics base for Russian forces in Ukraine, is regularly hit by drones, explosions and other incidents.
