A Russian drone attack targeted a border crossing between Ukraine and Moldova, killing two people and injuring three others, while another drone struck a residential building in Kyiv, as Moscow continues its campaign of near-continuous strikes across Ukraine.The Russian attack on the Starokazache–Tudora border crossing in Ukraine's Odesa region on September 9 damaged checkpoint infrastructure, vehicles, and buildings, sparked a major fire, and forced the evacuation of 16 people, Ukraine's State Border Guard Service reported.Moldovan authorities condemned the strike, and President Maia Sandu warned that Russian attacks pose a growing threat to Moldova."Russia's front line is moving further west -- which is why air defense for Ukraine is urgent," she wrote in a post on X.Sandu said the border crossing had been closed following the attack.
Moldovan Prime Minister Vasile Tofan noted in a post on Facebook that the Kremlin's war against Ukraine was "increasingly endangering the lives of our citizens as well."In a separate attack on the Ukrainian capital, a Russian drone struck a 24-story residential building, injuring at least five people and causing a fire, according to Kyiv authorities.
