Preliminary reports indicate no casualties. "The extent of the damage is being clarified," he wrote. Local officials believe the Taganrog Aviation Scientific Technical Complex may have been the target.
Taganrog Mayor Svetlana Kambulova reported damage to a boiler house on Tsiolkovsky Street, leaving 27 apartment buildings without heating. She expects repairs to the boiler facility by 12:00 p.m. "Residents should remain calm as the city continues to operate as normal,” Kambulova stated.
