The mayor of Rostov-on-Don, Alexei Logvinenko, reported that traffic on the city’s main artery has resumed and that public transport has returned to its conventional routes. The information was conveyed through an official telegraph channel.
Logvinenko stated that Bolshaya Sadovaya, Rostov’s central thoroughfare, is open to vehicular movement and that the city’s transit services have reverted to their familiar patterns. He noted that the city is maintaining adequate food and fuel supplies, and that all essential services are functioning normally, though gas stations are experiencing long lines due to high demand.
Earlier updates had described two explosions in Rostov-on-Don, a developing situation that drew significant attention across the region.
In the morning hours on June 24, Wagner PMC forces reportedly entered Rostov-on-Don, with images of military equipment and Wagner units circulating on social media and through official channels. In a televised address, the Russian president described the incident as a treasonous act and warned that those who participate in such actions will face punishment.
Meanwhile, the Defense Ministry issued a statement denying reports that the ministry had attacked Wagner’s rear camps. The ministry emphasized that the information circulating online did not reflect reality and characterized it as a provocation designed to mislead the public.
Following these developments, national security authorities indicated that they would pursue legal measures in response to calls for military rebellion and incitement, underscoring the government’s commitment to maintaining public order and constitutional norms.
