The checkpoint on the border between Ukraine and Moldova in the Odesa region, which was targeted by Russian forces on August 20, is now functional, according to a spokesperson from Ukraine's State Border Guard Service. No casualties or injuries were reported during the attack, a welcome outcome.
Demchenko, the Border Guard Service spokesman, clarified that the checkpoint remains open. One drone reportedly hit trucks in the vicinity. The guard service acknowledged that when the threat emerged, operations at the checkpoint were paused to prevent overcrowding and potential loss of life.
