On the night of November 15, Ukrainian Defense Forces attacked the Russian city of Taganrog (Rostov Oblast). The target was the occupier’s energy and logistics infrastructure.

Dialog.UA looked into the details.

The overnight attack damaged two electrical substations in the city. According to preliminary data, one of the targets was the 220 kV “T-10” (Taganrog-10) substation.

“The substation is involved in supplying electricity to Taganrog and its industrial zone, including large enterprises such as TAGMET JSC,” the Russian publication reported.

Local authorities claim that the chief engineer of one of the affected power plants died overnight.

As a result of the attack, power was cut off, including to the local section of the railway, and traffic on it was stopped.

Another major target was the bridge over the Mius River on Highway R-280. Local authorities reported damage to four vehicles and injuries to several people. Traffic on this section has been closed, and vehicles are being diverted through the village of Pokrovskoye.

The R-280 is a vital route for the Russian occupation army. It supplies captured territories, including Mariupol.

Judging by the published footage, the bridge has suffered critical damage. Traffic is impossible on it.

Dialog.UA previously reported that Russia’s largest petrochemical plant in Nizhnekamsk was on fire after a drone strike.

It was also reported that a key railway bridge collapsed in the Arkhangelsk region.
