On September 9th, Russian drones struck the Starokozache border post between Ukraine and Moldova, killing two civilians and injuring several more. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack and urged the international community to act.

In a related escalation, a Ukrainian drone attack on Novorossiysk, a southern Russian city on the Black Sea, killed four people, including a child, and injured 29 others. The strike, which struck a church, preschool and residential buildings, underscores the ongoing long‑range missile campaign despite diplomatic talks.
