Authorities temporarily closed down several border crossings in the region “for security reasons,” the ministry said.
Russia fired dozens of missiles at Ukraine on October 31, pounding energy facilities, causing blackouts, and cutting off water supplies in some parts of the country, Ukrainian officials said.
