## Summary

A drone attack overnight on 15 November killed the chief engineer of an electrical substation in Taganrog, in Russia’s Rostov Oblast, and injured four people, according to regional Governor Yuri Slyusar. Damage to power and railway infrastructure disrupted rail traffic, while a bridge strike closed part of the R-280 highway.

Three men and one woman were taken to hospital after debris fell on their vehicle on a highway and at a petrol station. Two substations were damaged, including one supplying railway infrastructure; five vehicles were damaged in total. Slyusar said air defences destroyed about 50 drones across the region, and warned that further attacks remained possible. Ukraine had not claimed responsibility at the time of reporting.
