Attacks on Voronezh, Taganrog, and Tuapse
In Voronezh, debris from drones, according to Governor Alexander Gusev, damaged a tire fitting building. The Ukrainian monitoring channel Exilenova+ notes that the target of this attack could have been the military airfield “Baltimore,” where the 47th Guards Bomber Aviation Regiment is based. According to an analysis by the Russian publication Astra, smoke can be seen in the area of this airfield in the photos published online.
In Taganrog, the governor of the Rostov region of Russia, Yuri Slyusar, reported the downing of a missile over the city. After the debris fell, a fire broke out, resulting in injuries to two cars and two women, one of whom is in serious condition.
The publication Astra notes that as a result of the attack, a fire occurred at the territory of the 325th Aircraft Repair Plant in Taganrog. Information about the damage to the plant itself is currently being clarified, but it is known that this plant had already been attacked in December 2024.
In the Krasnodar region, debris from a drone fell on the territory of a seaport terminal in Tuapse, where a fire occurred. According to Astra, one of the explosions likely occurred near the oil refinery, marking the fifth attack on this facility this spring.
Combined attack on Sevastopol and the situation in Crimea
In occupied Crimea, particularly in Sevastopol, a combined attack using Storm Shadow missiles was recorded. The appointed head of the city by Russia, Mikhail Razvozhayev, reported a fire on the roof of the southern branch of the Central Bank on Lastovaya, as well as damage to windows and balconies in nearby buildings, including an eight-story apartment building. In the area of Gogol Street, a missile damaged an unused administrative building, and the shockwave affected windows in residential buildings nearby.
The Telegram channel “Crimean Wind” reports that there was a “hit” on the building of the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet Air Force on Gogol Street, resulting in a fire.
The Ministry of Defense of Russia stated that 140 Ukrainian drones were allegedly destroyed over Belgorod, Volgograd, Voronezh, Kursk, Oryol, Tula regions, Krasnodar Krai, occupied Crimea, as well as over the waters of the Azov and Black Seas.
As of now, there have been no official comments from the Ukrainian military regarding these attacks. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia, airstrikes have repeatedly targeted various facilities on its territory. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has repeatedly emphasized that such actions are aimed at reducing the combat potential of the Russian occupation forces and forcing Russia to cease its aggression against Ukraine.
