Ukrainian forces struck the port of Taganrog, a city in southern Russia on the Sea of Azov, according to reports. The strike was reported on Friday evening, but no further details on the method of attack, extent of damage, or casualties have been released.
The attack is the latest in a series of Ukrainian strikes on Russian port infrastructure and energy facilities in recent weeks. The Zioneer has previously reported on Ukrainian strikes on the port of St. Petersburg, an oil refinery in Stavropol, and a titanium-chemical plant in Crimea, among other targets. These strikes are part of Ukraine's ongoing campaign to disrupt Russia's logistics and energy sector.
Taganrog is a key port city in Rostov Oblast, close to the Ukrainian border and the Sea of Azov. It hosts a naval base and industrial facilities. The full extent of the damage and whether the port's operations have been affected remain unclear.
