Russian forces struck the Tabaky international checkpoint on Moldova's border, causing significant damage and forcing its temporary suspension of operations, according to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. The attack, carried out overnight on August 21, targeted Bolhrad and Izmail districts in Ukraine's Odesa region, involving the use of Shahed drones.
