On the night of September 5–6, 2026, Russian forces struck border infrastructure in Izmail district of Odesa Oblast, causing the Orlivka international ferry crossing checkpoint on the Ukrainian-Romanian border to suspend operations for the second time within roughly a week. Romanian radar detected inbound aerial targets and the country declared a brief air-raid alert; no violation of Romanian airspace was recorded. Operations resumed on the morning of September 7.
