Night attack
It is noted that, according to the information from the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the night of October 2, the Russians attacked Ukraine with 32 Shahed—type strike drones. Eleven of them were destroyed by air defense units, including in the Odesa region.
In Odesa, the air raid alert lasted almost the entire night, from 1:25 AM to 5:39 AM. According to monitoring channels, the drones were moving towards Orlivka, Izmail, Podilsk, and Ovidiopol.
It should be noted that when leaving Odesa to Romania, the rules will change. There will no longer be a need to stamp the passport.
Additionally, Ukraine plans a large—scale overhaul of customs operations.
