Russian forces attacked a Ukrainian port on the border with NATO “for almost three hours” in a single day, killing no less than one particular person, native officers have revealed.

Dozens of Iranian-made Shahed-136 kamikaze drones have been shot down over the Ukrainian ports of Reni and Izmail within the final three days alone.

Last night time’s assault on Izmail resulted in a single particular person dying in hospital from critical accidents whereas “destruction and fire were recorded in several settlements”, based on the regional governor Oleg Kiper.

The targets sit on the Danube River, which demarcates the border between Ukraine and Romania, and have turn into important hubs by means of which to avoid the Russian army blockade within the Black Sea erected after its withdrawal from the grain deal.

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis stated on Tuesday (September 4) that the assaults had taken place “very, very close” to his nation’s border. Bucharest has strongly condemned Russian assaults on Ukraine’s Danube infrastructure.

An announcement printed by Mr Kiper at 3.51am, 40 minutes after reitering an air alarm warning, stated: “For almost three hours, Russian terrorists attacked the Izmail district of Odesa with attack drones.

“Unfortunately, one person died. The employee of the agricultural enterprise, who was seriously injured, died in the hospital. Sincere condolences to family and friends...

“Destruction and fires were recorded in several settlements. Objects of port and agricultural infrastructure were damaged: elevators, administrative buildings, agricultural enterprises.”

Ukraine’s State Emergency providers later shared images (above) of their firefighters tackling the flames in Izmail.
