Ukraine said last week that Russia attacked the port infrastructure of Odesa region. Two people were injured, whilst the work of the checkpoint had been temporarily suspended, according to reports from the Ministry for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine.

The ministry claimed on October 2 that as a result of the attack two truck drivers were injured, and both were provided with the necessary assistance.

“Two truck drivers were wounded. Both are hospitalized and they are receiving medical care,” the post reads.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in the social media X (former twitter) that there were strikes in the Izmail district, Odesa region, very close to the Romanian border.

“Last night, the Russian army launched another attack on Ukraine using “Shaheds.” There were strikes in the Odesa region, specifically in the Izmail district, very close to the Romanian border. The “Shaheds” targeted ordinary civilian infrastructure – a ferry terminal, trucks, and a grain warehouse. Exactly the kind of targets that Russian terrorists always aim for: the food security of the region and the world,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on October 2.

“Ukraine has long been telling all our neighbors and key partners – we need to cooperate, we need to work together to shoot down “Shaheds” and missiles, especially in areas near NATO states,” Zelenskyy added.
