Russia hits Moldovan border checkpoint for second time in a week
Russian Shahed drones struck the Tabaky border crossing with Moldova overnight on August 21, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine said in a statement.
On August 21, Russian drones attacked the Tabaky border checkpoint with Moldova for the second time within a week, according to the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service. The assault occurred as part of ongoing Russian airstrikes targeting the Izmail and Bolhrad districts of Odesa Oblast. The attack on the Tabaky checkpoint resulted in damage to the international crossing's facilities and the ignition of fires, which have since been extinguished.
The Ukrainian authorities promptly closed the border crossing to all traffic and promptly informed Moldovan officials about the incident. Vehicles have been redirected to alternative border crossings, and travelers have been advised to factor in the closure when planning their journeys. Russian drones also penetrated Moldovan airspace during a major aerial attack on the checkpoint the previous night, August 20, according to the Moldovan Ministry of Defense.
