The Orlivka<\/strong> border crossing on the border with Romania is temporarily closed following a Russian attack with strike drones. Processing of citizens and vehicles has been suspended for the time being.<\/p>\n

This was reported<\/a> by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to the State Border Guard Service, Russian troops attacked the checkpoint overnight with Shahed-type<\/strong> attack drones. Hits were recorded on the building and the checkpoint\u2019s grounds. Fires broke out following the strikes.<\/p>\n

The Orlivka border crossing is temporarily closed<\/h2>\n

Due to the aftermath of the attack, the processing of citizens and vehicles at the Orlivka<\/strong> border crossing has been temporarily suspended.<\/p>\n

This means that it is currently impossible to cross the Ukrainian-Romanian border through this checkpoint.<\/p>\n

Vehicles that were heading through Orlivka are being rerouted to other border crossing points.<\/p>\n

What Happened Last Night<\/h2>\n

Overnight, Russian troops attacked the checkpoint with Shahed-type<\/strong> attack drones.<\/p>\n

The following was recorded:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • a strike on the checkpoint building;<\/li>\n
  • a strike on the checkpoint\u2019s grounds;<\/li>\n
  • fires following the attack;<\/li>\n
  • a temporary suspension of border clearance for citizens;<\/li>\n
  • redirection of traffic to other routes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Currently, operations at the checkpoint have been suspended until the consequences of the attack are resolved and the ability to safely process people and vehicles is restored.<\/p>\n

    Where is traffic being rerouted?<\/h2>\n

    The State Border Guard Service reported that vehicles are being rerouted to other border crossings.<\/p>\n

    Drivers and passengers who planned to cross the border with Romania via Orlivka<\/strong> should check the current situation in advance and choose an alternative route.<\/p>\n

    This is especially important for:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • international carriers;<\/li>\n
    • passenger buses;<\/li>\n
    • tourists;<\/li>\n
    • pilgrims;<\/li>\n
    • passenger car drivers;<\/li>\n
    • freight vehicles;<\/li>\n
    • people who need to travel abroad urgently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      What to Do Before Your Trip<\/h2>\n

      Before traveling to the Ukrainian-Romanian border, drivers and passengers should:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • check which border crossing points are currently open;<\/li>\n
      • stay updated on announcements from the State Border Guard Service;<\/li>\n
      • take into account possible lines and delays;<\/li>\n
      • allow plenty of time;<\/li>\n
      • choose an alternative border crossing point;<\/li>\n
      • do not travel to Orlivka without confirmation that it has reopened.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Due to the temporary closure of Orlivka, traffic at other border crossings may increase.<\/p>\n

        Why This Is Important for Pilgrims Traveling to Uman<\/h2>\n

        The Orlivka\u2013Isakcha<\/strong> border crossing is frequently used by people traveling from Romania to Ukraine, particularly tourists and pilgrims heading to Uman.<\/p>\n

        Due to the temporary suspension of operations at the border crossing, pilgrims planning a route through Romania should check alternative routes and allow extra time for the journey.<\/p>\n

        During martial law, routes to Ukraine may change due to the security situation, attacks by the Russian Federation, air raid alerts, or damage to infrastructure.<\/p>\n

        Alternative routes should be checked in advance<\/h2>\n

        If one border crossing is closed, the load on other crossings may increase. This can lead to longer lines, bus delays, and changes in arrival times.<\/p>\n

        Therefore, drivers, carriers, and passengers should check in advance:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • whether the chosen border crossing is open;<\/li>\n
        • what the situation is with lines;<\/li>\n
        • whether there are any temporary restrictions;<\/li>\n
        • whether traffic is being rerouted;<\/li>\n
        • which routes border guards recommend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
