During the strike in the south of the Odesa region, the ferry crossing across the Danube, known as "Orlivka-Isaccea," between Ukraine and Romania was affected, according to the Romanian agency Digi24.

According to their information, the crossing point in Isaccea is completely closed due to today's shelling from the Ukrainian side (Orlivka, Izmail district). Two ferries that provide transportation from one side of the Danube to the other are anchored on the Romanian shore.
