Missile strike damages Ozon warehouse and homes in Taganrog

On September 15, Ukrainian drones and missiles targeted a Taganrog warehouse operated by marketplace Ozon as well as residential buildings, stores, and administrative structures, as reported by Rostov Governor Yuri Slyusar. There were no reported casualties, according to the governor. Ozon announced that one of its logistics partners' delivery hubs in Taganrog had been evacuated due to a missile threat.

The company clarified that "goods from sellers were never accepted" at the hub, adding that it conducts "other operations." Ukrainian monitoring project Exilenova+ identified one of the strike's targets as the G.V. Beriev Taganrog Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex, which specializes in repairing and upgrading military aircraft.

Additionally, Ukrainian drones launched attacks in Russia's Samara region, causing damage to an industrial facility, according to Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev. The Telegram channel Astra and Ukrainian monitoring channels indicated that the target in Samara was Rosneft's Syzran oil refinery. On September 14, US President Donald Trump announced that Ukraine had agreed not to strike Russian energy infrastructure, claiming Russia had also reportedly agreed to a similar ceasefire.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky affirmed Ukraine's readiness for such a deal but expressed doubt that Russia would comply. Financial Times sources suggested that Trump had prematurely announced the energy truce.
