The authorities in the Rostov Region have reported a second drone attack on tankers in Taganrog Bay.

Two tankers were hit in Taganrog Bay near Taganrog. The fire on one has been extinguished, whilst the other continues to burn.

Attack on tankers in Taganrog Bay: both vessels damaged, one on fire

"In Taganrog Bay, drones have again attacked two tankers, which sustained mechanical damage. There were no casualties.

The tanker crews have been evacuated. The drone strikes caused fires. The fire on one of the vessels is still burning, whilst the blaze on the other has been completely extinguished," the statement reads.

NASA’s FIRMS service is also detecting new thermal anomalies in the waters of the Sea of Azov. This may indicate a new attack on vessels of the Russian Federation’s shadow fleet off the coast of our Crimea.

The day before, the governor also reported an attack on two tankers in Taganrog Bay.
