Port of Taganrog — tanker and fuel tank damaged in drone attack

Taganrog, Rostov Oblast, Russia

What happened

A Ukrainian drone attack caused fires at the Port of Taganrog, damaging a tanker, a fuel tank and an administrative building. Rostov Oblast Governor Yury Slyusar confirmed the port fires and initially reported no casualties at the port. Two civilians were separately injured when a drone struck a private home elsewhere in Taganrog; those injuries are not attributed to the oil facility. The reviewed reporting did not identify the tanker, its cargo or flag, quantify damage or fuel loss, or establish how long port operations were disrupted. The marker is placed at the commercial port rather than presented as a precise impact coordinate.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
