Explosions in Taganrog: what is known
On Tuesday, November 7, powerful explosions occurred near the airport in the Russian city of Taganrog (Rostov region). Eyewitnesses claimed that “houses, windows, and the ground shook”.
Photos were posted online showing a column of smoke.
Petro Andriushchenko, citing sources, noted that after the “cotton”, Russian helicopters were burning at the airfield.
According to him, the occupiers systematically use the Taganrog airfield to base both helicopter units and air defense systems and equipment before deploying them to Ukraine.
On November 5, an enemy air raid targeted a military base in the village of Sedove in the occupied Donetsk region, after which electricity and communication went out.
