Authorities in the southern Russian city of Taganrog are evacuating residents whose homes lie within an emergency zone established after a drone attack, Mayor Svetlana Kambulova said. The attack triggered a fire at the Taganrog seaport, which firefighters are working to contain. No casualties have been reported so far, according to Rostov Region Governor Yury Slyusar.

They have called on residents to follow emergency services' instructions and remain cautious.
Ukrainian Armed Forces
Governor Slyusar referred to the incident as an attack by the Ukrainian armed forces, framing it as a deliberate act. No other perspective was provided in the reports.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
