The Ukrainian military said it destroyed 25 drones in the second straight night of shelling. Scraps of drones were even found in Romania.
Russian drones attacked the southern port city of Izmail for a second straight night. Kyiv confirmed the attacks, saying that infrastructure had been damaged. Central Ukraine and the Odesa region were also targeted.
Moscow has targeted ports in the Odesa area persistently since it ended a deal last year brokered by the United Nations and Turkey that allowed Ukraine to export grain via the Black Sea.
Ukraine’s air force chief said they downed about 25 of 38 drones, with some wreckage found over the border with NATO-member Romania. Romania’s Defense Ministry said fragments of a Russian Geran 1/2 drone were found near the village of Plauru across the Danube, near the river port of Izmail.
Odesa governor Oleh Kiper said two people were wounded when drone debris hit a private house in Izmail district.
Increasing drone attacks have taken a heavy toll on Ukraine’s ability to defend itself.
