Yuri Slyusary, acting governor of the Rostov region, said the attack hit an “industrial facility” in Taganrog, damaging 14 parked cars.
Taganrog Mayor Svetlana Kambulova later confirmed that 27 residential buildings in the city were left without heating as a result of the attack on the thermal power plant. There were no reports of injuries or fatalities.
Videos shared on social media recorded several loud explosions in Taganrog around 3:30 a.m. local time.
The Russian claims have not been independently confirmed, and the Ukrainian military has not commented on the alleged attack. The Rostov region, which lies along the border, has been the scene of regular Ukrainian attacks since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war.
