A Romanian border village has been evacuated after a massive LPG tanker, the Orinda, caught fire near Ukraine following a Russian drone strike. The blaze, fueled by thousands of tons of gas, sent plumes of smoke across the Danube, forcing local authorities to clear nearby residential areas, including the town of Plauru. Concerns are mounting as continued Russian strikes target southern Ukraine’s port infrastructure, including energy facilities and multiple vessels, causing significant overnight damage in the Odesa region.
