Ukraine-Romania ferry crossing closed after Russian kamikaze drone attack
Ukraine's Orlivka ferry crossing to Romania's Isaccea has been temporarily closed following an overnight Russian kamikaze drone attack on port and border infrastructure in Odesa Oblast, the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service reported on Telegram on Oct. 6.
No casualties were reported as a result of the attack.
People are urged to use alternative border crossing points with Romania until further notice. Measures are being taken to stabilize the facility’s operation.
A grain storage facility was damaged, and nine trucks set on fire in yet another Russian kamikaze drone attack targeting the port and border infrastructure in the Podunavya district of Odesa Oblast early on Oct. 6.
Romania found wreckage on its territory from what are likely Russian drones on several occasions. Russian drones damaged the Orlivka-Isaccea checkpoint overnight on Sept. 25-26.
NATO does not believe the attack was deliberate. Romania is moving its air defense systems closer to the border with Ukraine, Reuters reported.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
