Russian Drone Hits Gas Station Meters From Poland, Briefly Closing Key Border Crossing

Summary
Yahodyn’s crossing with Poland was briefly shut after Russian drone debris ignited a gas station and several trucks just hundreds of meters from the border; traffic had resumed by 10 a.m. Sunday.
Volyn also saw a Russian drone hit a passenger train locomotive 2 kilometers from Poland, underscoring a campaign Zelensky said included more than 2,000 drones launched at Ukraine in the past week.
Ukraine cast the Yahodyn strike as pressure on the EU and NATO because the crossing is a major route for military and humanitarian aid into the country.
Ukraine said it answered overnight by striking the TANECO oil refinery in Russia’s Tatarstan, where local officials reported two civilians killed.
Border states remain jittery over spillover risk: Lithuania briefly closed Vilnius airport and NATO scrambled a fighter jet Sunday before identifying a suspected drone as birds.
