Quote: "The Russians targeted the port and border infrastructure. Two lorry drivers were injured. One of them is a Turkish citizen."

Details: Kiper said that the men are in a moderate condition in hospital and are being provided with all the necessary care.

The attack also caused a fire, which was quickly extinguished by firefighters.

Kiper reiterated that crossing operations were temporarily suspended due to attacks on the Orlivka border crossing point.

"The Russians deliberately bombarded the checkpoint, making it difficult for ordinary people to cross the border. This is terror against the civilian population," Kiper said.

Background: On the night of 1-2 October, Russian troops attacked Ukraine with 32 Shahed attack UAVs, and air defence systems shot down 11 drones in Kirovohrad, Odesa and Sumy oblasts.
