According to Dosye Shpiona, an attack on Taganrog left the city without operational air defense systems. A Pantsir-S1 was destroyed in the strike after reportedly returning from repairs just one day earlier.
The strike also hit a fuel depot at Taganrog Severny airfield, burning a 1,000-ton storage tank, and the Atlant Aero UAV production site, where about 4,000 square meters of production facilities burned and a warehouse containing Molniya drones was destroyed.
