The state of emergency has been declared in Taganrog after the drone attack.

In Taganrog, after a nighttime drone attack that resulted in one death and damage to several residential buildings, a state of emergency has been declared.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", as a result of the drone attack last night, the chief engineer of the electrical substation in Taganrog was killed, and five others were injured. Two electrical substations and a private house were damaged in the city, and train traffic was suspended. In the Neklinovsky district, traffic on a section of the R-280 highway was blocked due to damage to a bridge over the railway.

The decision to declare a state of emergency in Taganrog was made following an extraordinary meeting of the emergency situations commission, said the head of the city, Svetlana Kambulo.

"We decided to introduce a local state of emergency starting from 09:00," Kambulo wrote today on her channel on Max.

A working group has already begun inspecting the damaged houses to assess the damage. Open flames at the transformer substation have been extinguished, and specialists continue to spray the area to prevent re-ignition, Kambulo noted.

It is worth noting that a state of emergency has been repeatedly declared in Taganrog after drone attacks. For instance, on May 27, 2026, authorities declared a local state of emergency after a missile attack, which injured two women and damaged a boiler house, leaving residents of several houses without hot water. On January 13, 2026, a local state of emergency was declared after a drone attack that damaged eight residential buildings, six cars, and two industrial facilities. On January 6, 2025, authorities also declared a state of emergency regarding properties damaged during a drone attack.
