Drones target energy infrastructure in Russia's Taganrog, OSINT channels report
Overnight on 15 November, drones mounted a mass attack on Taganrog in Russia's Rostov region, with energy facilities possibly hit. The city's mayor said drones were shot down over the city.
A large-scale drone attack struck the city of Taganrog in Russia's Rostov region overnight on 15 November, and energy facilities may have been hit. The information comes from the Ukrainian monitoring Telegram channels Exilenova+ and Supernova+, the Russian outlet ASTRA, and the Taganrog mayor. The attack occurs against the backdrop of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, during which Ukraine regularly targets sites on Russian territory.
Based on open-source intelligence (OSINT) analysis, ASTRA believes one of the targets was likely the 220 kV "T-10" ("Taganrog-10") substation. It is one of the city's important energy facilities. The substation helps supply electricity to Taganrog and its industrial zone, including large enterprises such as the joint-stock company TAGMET.
ASTRA notes that Taganrog mayor Svetlana Kambulova has reported drones being shot down over the city. Official confirmation of any damage has not been reported, and the source gives no information on casualties.
