Moldova Installs Shelters at Border Crossings, Relocates Staff from Vulnerable Checkpoints

Moldova's Border Police Minister Daniiela Misail-Nikitin announced that border crossing points are being equipped with protective shelters in response to security threats.

Staff from the 'Kryva' and 'Palanka' border checkpoints have already been relocated to Moldovan territory as a safety precaution. The Palanka crossing was struck in a Russian drone attack on October 5.

Moldova shares an extensive border with Ukraine and has been taking precautionary measures to protect its border infrastructure as drone incidents near its territory have increased. The country has been strengthening border security in response to the escalating threat environment.
