A coordinated Ukrainian drone campaign overnight Friday-Saturday has delivered a fresh impact on the Russian Federation’s domestic energy supply lines and maritime logistics networks, sparking major infrastructure fires in both the Krasnodar Krai and Rostov regions.
Port infrastructure and tanker hit in Taganrog
The most logistically significant damage occurred in the port city of Taganrog, situated along the coast of the Sea of Azov in the Rostov region, Russian outlet ASTRA reported. Ukrainian loitering munitions successfully penetrated local electronic warfare and anti-aircraft umbrellas to strike the primary port facility directly.

According to a public statement released by Rostov Regional Governor Yuri Slyusar, the impact triggered a chain of consecutive fires across the port’s industrial sector.
The explosions directly ignited a commercial tanker vessel moored at the docks, a specialized bulk fuel storage reservoir, and an adjacent administrative operations building. Russian disaster response crews were deployed to the harbor to suppress the fires, with regional officials later claiming that the blazes were completely extinguished without causing civilian casualties.
