Russian strike hits a Ukrainian transport target near Poland

Russia struck a Ukrainian transport target close to the Polish border on September 13, temporarily affecting the Dorohusk–Yahodyn crossing. The route is an important road and logistics link between Ukraine and the European Union.

Moscow said the infrastructure was connected to military cargo. Claims by parties to the conflict about the nature of targets require independent verification and should not be expanded beyond the available evidence.

Because the site is close to NATO member Poland, the incident raised concern about misdirected strikes, airspace incidents and transport disruption. The report did not establish that NATO territory had been hit, so this should not be described as a direct Russian attack on NATO.

Canada continues to support Ukraine, while residents and aid groups travel through Poland. Travellers, relief organizations and freight operators should check official border and travel notices, allow time for rerouting and avoid relying on unverified social-media route information.
