New drone attacks hit the Ukraine-Moldova crossing and Black Sea infrastructure

Al Jazeera

Ukrainian authorities say a Russian drone attack killed two civilians and injured three near the Starokozache crossing into Moldova, temporarily interrupting traffic. The report also describes overnight strikes around Kyiv and Mykolaiv, and competing accounts of attacks around Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk. The border-crossing strike is a new incident, not a rerun of yesterday's Kyiv report.
