Russia Strikes Ukraine-Moldova Border Crossing for Second Night in a Row

Russia attacked a Ukrainian border crossing with Moldova for the second night in a row, damaging infrastructure and forcing the checkpoint to close, Kyiv said. The strikes come after Moldova reported a drone entering its airspace.

Russia struck Ukraine’s Odesa region with drones overnight on August 21, hitting the Tabaky international checkpoint on the border with Moldova, Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service reported.

The announcement comes a day after a Romanian F-16 fighter jet destroyed an explosive-laden maritime drone close to Europe's largest offshore gas project.
