Taganrog blast leaves at least 9 wounded as Russia blames Ukraine

The Russian military said on Friday (July 28) it had shot down a Ukrainian missile over the southern Russian city of Taganrog and that fragments of the missile had injured civilians and damaged buildings. There was no immediate reaction from Ukraine, which rarely comments on attacks inside Russia or on Russian-controlled territory. Vasily Golubev, governor of Russia’s Rostov region, which includes Taganrog and is close to Ukraine, said a cafe had been hit along with a museum and that the windows of a residential building had been blown out. He said nine people had been taken to hospital with injuries but that nobody had been killed. The location of the video shown in Taganrog was verified by Street View imagery in which a red building with a silver chimney, a distinctive white arch and wall can be seen. Photographs published by the Rostov region’s governor also showed the same red building. The governor also said the impact happened near a café which is a few metres away from the site of the debris.
