Tabaky border crossing with Moldova reopens after Russian attack
Border crossing operations resumed at the Tabaky international checkpoint on Ukraine's border with Moldova in Odesa Oblast, Ukraine's State Border Guard Service said on Aug. 22.
On August 22, Ukraine's State Border Guard Service announced that the Tabaky international checkpoint on Ukraine's border with Moldova had reopened its operations after being attacked by Russian forces. The Ukrainian side had informed their Moldovan counterparts about the reopening. The checkpoint is now operating normally once again.
Earlier on the night of August 21, Russian forces launched a second drone attack on the Tabaky border crossing located on Odesa Oblast's border with Moldova. This attack, similar to one that took place a week prior, damaged the checkpoint's infrastructure, causing a temporary halt in the movement of people and vehicles. Traffic was redirected to other border crossings during the incident.
On August 20, in a significant combined attack, Russia targeted another border crossing with Moldova within Odesa Oblast using drones. Moldova's Defense Ministry reported that a Shahed-136 drone entered the country's airspace during this overnight attack before returning to Ukraine.
