Ukraine war LIVE: Vladimir Putin 'avoids stray fire' as war risks spilling into NATO


Russia is being “careful” not to accidentally strike the territory of NATO members like Romania as the Ukrainian infrastructure near the border comes under attack.

According to the UK Ministry of Defence, the risk of a spillover means Russia has taken steps to ensure the bombing around the Ukrainian port city of Izium does not spill over.

In order to avoid wayward missiles hitting Romania the Russian military, it has taken to using more accurate Iranian-made Shahed drones, the MoD has reported.

The MoD intelligence updated noted: “It is likely that Russia used SHAHED OWA UAVs on these targets because of their better accuracy over other types of air-launched missiles.”
