A drone attack has struck the seaport in Taganrog, Russia, triggering a firefighting operation and forcing the evacuation of nearby residents.
Rostov Region Governor Yury Slyusar confirmed the incident on social media, stating that an emergency response center had been established and that no casualties had been reported so far.
The strike on Taganrog, a key port city on the Sea of Azov, heightens concerns about the security of shipping lanes and port infrastructure in the region.
While the immediate impact on global freight flows remains unclear, the incident underscores the persistent risk to logistics hubs in southern Russia.
This development follows a separate Ukrainian drone attack earlier in the day that ignited a fire at the Ilsky oil refinery in the nearby Krasnodar region.
The coordinated strikes on energy and transport infrastructure suggest an escalation in targeting critical nodes within Russia’s southern supply chain.
