An airstrike near an aircraft factory in Taganrog sparked debate on social media.

The grounds of an aircraft factory and a park in Taganrog have been cordoned off following an airstrike that injured three people today. Telegram users have suggested that authorities evacuate the plant outside the city limits for the safety of residents.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," three people were injured in an airstrike in Taganrog last night. Authorities say "commercial infrastructure was damaged" and a fire broke out in a warehouse. Tram and bus routes along Instrumentalnaya Street have been changed in the area of ​​the Beriev Aircraft Plant, Mayor Svetlana Kambulova reported.

Aircraft Plant and Park Cordoned Off in Taganrog After Air Attack

Doctors provided assistance to three Taganrog residents who sought medical attention; hospitalization was not required, Svetlana Kambulova reported on her Telegram channel.

According to her, commercial enterprises, the Taganrog Mechanical College, and more than 10 vehicles sustained serious damage.

"Territory of the Beriev Aircraft Plant and Primorsky Park have been completely cordoned off. Bomb disposal experts will begin work there shortly to inspect and defuse any explosive devices. In this regard, tram and bus service along Instrumentalnaya Street in the area of ​​the Beriev Plant is temporarily being adjusted," the mayor's post states.

Commenters called for moving the Beriev Aircraft Complex outside the city limits.

As of 1:55 PM Moscow time, 68 comments had been posted under Kambulova's post. Some of the comments discussed the idea of ​​relocating the Beriev Aircraft Complex.

"Military production facilities need to be moved deeper into Russia; that's the only solution," Vavok stated. "And where do we get the people for this production?" Sea Breeze asked. "Why 'get them?' You just need to offer them normal conditions—they'll come," Boris remarked in response. "We should transport them on a rotational basis, not have the whole city tolerate this," Dima suggested.

"Just move this Berieva somewhere outside the city. What's more important to you – people or military production? This happens every week," Marina appealed to the authorities.

How long can we put people in danger?

"I completely agree, this kind of production shouldn't be in the city, it needs to be moved outside the city. During WWII, such production facilities were located beyond the Urals. How long can we put people in danger?" Zoya protested.

"Berieva is already on the outskirts. True, in recent years, there has been a trend to build new residential neighborhoods around the industrial zone," Alexander noted.

"And what does Berieva have to do with it? As if there aren't any other enterprises there," Elena Semenova said. "We can't write about everything here, which means it's the Beriev district, since they're constantly shooting there, so we're saying that such production facilities need to be set up outside the city," Zoya explained.

Authority representatives, as of 1:55 PM Moscow time, had not participated in the discussion.

Instrumentalnaya Street has previously been mentioned in reports of aerial attacks.

According to official government data, at least five people have been killed in aerial attacks in Taganrog over the past five months. Thus, on the night of April 4, one person died as a result of an air strike in Taganrog, four were injured.

On March 29, a drone attack in Taganrog also killed one person, and eight more required medical assistance. The attack damaged 12 apartment buildings and 27 private homes.

On January 13, a woman died in an attack in Taganrog . Eight residential buildings, two industrial facilities, and six cars were also damaged. Authorities promised assistance to all victims.

On November 25, 2025, a drone attack in Taganrog and the village of Bessergenevskaya killed three people and injured eight more. At least one of the victims was in Taganrog at the time of the attack. A 76-year-old Taganrog resident who suffered serious injuries later died in the hospital, raising the death toll to four.

This attack also occurred near Instrumentalnaya Street, where two apartment buildings, one private home, and parked cars were damaged.

Car damage has repeatedly featured in reports on the consequences of drone attacks in the Rostov Region, but compensation for it was not provided until December 2025. Only after a Taganrog resident who lost his car asked about payments during a direct line with the governor did authorities establish a compensation procedure for car owners. The resolution provides for a payment of up to 500,000 rubles for a damaged vehicle and up to a million for a destroyed one.
