The Cargo S-200 flew to Taganrog

According to the Ministry of Defense, the Ukrainian missile was shot down over the city. It is known about 15 victims

Users of social networks began to upload videos and photos (it was evident how a pillar of black smoke rises above Taganrog), from which it was possible to understand: the explosion fell into the very center of the city. He was so power that the roar was heard far from the scene. In the courtyards of houses located 5-8 kilometers from the scene of the explosion, anti -theft alarms of cars worked.

A little later it became known: the explosion occurred in the area of ​​banking square, in the courtyard of the Art Museum (this is an old two -story mansion). At the scene of the explosion, a funnel of about five by five meters formed. From the administrative buildings and cafes neighboring with the Museum, people began to run out into the street, many in the blood.

Residents of the Rostov region are used to the fact that in the border region some loud pops are regularly heard, which the regional authorities, as a rule, explain the transition of aircraft to supersonic speed. Something like this was expected from the authorities this time. But the Governor of the Rostov Region Vasily Golubev said that a rocket had fallen in the center of Taganrog - the main blow came along the complex of the art museum, the wall of the building, roof, nearby garages and household buildings were destroyed. In addition, frames and windows are knocked out in the neighboring three -story residential building.

According to the governor, 15 people were injured who received fragmentation wounds from broken glass, nine people were hospitalized with injuries of medium and light severity. There are no seriously wounded.

At the scene of the explosion, 17 special vehicles and 60 rescuers worked, as well as employees of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. In the area of ​​the incident, an emergency mode was introduced.

Later, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation made clarifying information. According to the military, “the Kyiv regime was committed by a terrorist act”-according to the residential infrastructure of Taganrog, the anti-aircraft missile of the S-200 air defense system was released into the shock version. She was shot down, but "the debris fell into the city, damaged several buildings and were injured to people."

This is the second year and a half decline in the rocket in the Primorsky city. For the first time in March of 2022, the Military airfield of Taganrog was subjected to missile shelling. Then the authorities also stated that the rocket was destroyed by the air defense system. But if the military knew about the approaching threat, then

For some reason, the townspeople were neither in March last year nor now they were warned about the danger-a alarm was not included in the city?

It is known that on the Taganrog Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex (TANTK) named after G.M. Beriev is modernized by A-50-50-rifle aircraft, which was announced by Sergei Shoigu, Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, at a selector meeting with the leading composition of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
