The Russian army for its part indicated that it had carried out a drone attack once morest the port of Reni, on the border with Romania, a member of NATO.
“Last night, the Russian air force carried out a group strike with drones on fuel depots used to refuel military equipment of the Ukrainian army in the port of Reni”, indicated the Russian Ministry of Defense, assuring that the objective of the strike had been “achieved” and all targets hit.
Installations on the Danube, including the port of Reni and Ismail, have already been targeted by Russian forces and Romania condemned these attacks at the time.
