Explosions rock Russia’s Taganrog overnight
A series of powerful explosions occurred in Taganrog, Rostov Oblast, locals reported between 2 and 8 loud bangs, bright flashes in the sky, and intense detonations, Russian Telegram channels wrote on April 1.
Preliminary reports indicated air defense systems operating in the port area.
Explosions were heard near the port, as well as in the villaged nearby: Krasnyi Desant and Novobissergenovka.
A fire broke out near a nine-story residential building on Liza Chaikina Street in the Severnaya district.
Buildings and vehicles suffered damage, but no official information on casualties so far. Eyewitnesses have posted videos showing bright flashes and debris scattering in the air.
As of now, there have been no official statements from Russia’s Defense Ministry or local authorities. The situation is being clarified.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
