A projectile fired during a Russian attack hits the passenger bus area and a border control booth at the Palanca–Maiaki–Udobne border crossing between Moldova and Ukraine, injuring a Moldovan border guard.
Reports say the projectile strikes or ricochets off the ground before hitting a bus and the border-control structure, where staff are stationed. The injured guard is described as lightly wounded. Moldova’s border authorities say the incident occurs around 9:38 a.m. and that the crossing is temporarily closed following the attack.
While all outlets agree on the location of the crossing, the involvement of a projectile from a Russian attack, and that a border guard is injured, they differ slightly in how they describe the projectile’s path and the specific sequence of impacts. One outlet also notes a photographic report of the damage and injuries, while another emphasizes that the crossing closure follows the projectile hitting the bus.
