Ukraine and Poland: drone attacks hit key route and cause fires on the border

Euronews Portugal14 September 2026 at 08:28

Ukraine reported that a Russian drone struck a fuel station near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border crossing linking Ukraine and Poland during the early hours of Sunday, September 13. The attack caused fires in the border area.

The fuel station is located next to this border crossing, which is considered a key route for traffic between the two countries. The incident occurred in the early morning, when the drone attack set the facilities ablaze.

A video recorded at the scene shows flames and thick smoke rising from the fuel station. Firefighters were called to the scene to extinguish the fire and contain the flames.

The attack occurs in the context of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with Russia frequently using drones to strike targets in Ukrainian territory. This border crossing with Poland is one of the main routes linking Ukraine to the European Union.

Why this matters

Readers in the region are directly affected by this attack that disrupts a crucial border crossing for trade and movement of people between Ukraine and Poland, and demonstrates that the conflict is approaching NATO territory, increasing concerns about security on the European border. This incident follows an escalation of drone attacks in the region and may have implications for humanitarian and military logistics in the area.
