Russian Shahed drone strikes hit near Moldova border and southern Odesa, causing outages; Moldova and Romania respond to drone incursions.
Russian Shahed drones targeted a site near the Reni–Giurgiulești crossing with Moldova, resulting in power outages affecting 13,000 utility customers in southern Odesa Oblast. Moldova tracked a suspected Shahed drone for six minutes, and Romania scrambled fighter jets in response to an unidentified drone crashing near Grindu.
Confidence: High
The multiple drone strikes targeting Ukrainian border area and causing power outages, alongside foreign nations scrambling jets due to drone incursions, clearly indicate hostile hybrid warfare activities by Russian forces using drones as attack tools.
