Russian drones struck a Ukrainian checkpoint on the Moldova border, killing two people and injuring three, according to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. The attack targeted the international vehicle checkpoint in Starokozache and disrupted operations at the crossing.
In retaliation, Ukraine launched an attack on a Russian Black Sea port that killed at least four people and injured 29 others, per DW News. The exchange of drone strikes marks continued escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two nations.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian police recovered the spent propulsion section of a Russian hypersonic missile in Kyiv following an attack. The discovery highlights Russia's continued use of advanced weaponry in its assault on Ukrainian territory.
Ukraine's foreign intelligence has warned that European NATO members may become the second target of Russia's winter missile buildup. This assessment comes as NATO reportedly prepares for potential Russian aggression, though such preparations receive limited media coverage according to Estonian journalist Peeter Kaldre.
Separately, the United States escalated trade tensions with Canada by banning imports of Canadian alcohol, some dairy products, and large motorcycles. President Trump's measures deepen the economic rift between the historically allied North American nations.
