An explosion rocked the center of the Russian city of Taganrog near the border with Ukraine on Friday, injuring several people, the Kremlin said.
Elsewhere, prominent Russian lawmaker Alexander Khinshtein said in a Telegram post that an explosion had hit a major oil refinery in Russia’s Samara region, around 850 miles northwest of Taganrog.
Blaming Ukraine for the “terrorist attack on the residential infrastructure” in Taganrog, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a Telegram post that its defense systems had “detected and intercepted” a modified “Soviet-made S-200 missile”
It added that fragments of the missile had fallen on the city, damaging several buildings and injuring civilians.

..."The ministry did not say how many people had been injured, but Rostov's regional governor, Vasily Golubev, said in a post on his Telegram channel that 15 people had suffered minor injuries from shrapnel. No one had died, he added.
In a later Telegram post, he reduced the number of injured to 12, but he said 9 people had been hospitalized. One of the victims suffered a “traumatic brain injury,” and had surgery, he added.
In a later post Russia‘s Defense Ministry said it downed a second Ukrainian missile near the city of Azov, which like Taganrog is in the Rostov region. It added that debris fell in an unpopulated location.
