Drone entering from Ukraine violates Moldova's airspace

Moldova’s Defence Ministry has reported that an unidentified drone violated the country's airspace after crossing from Ukraine on 3 February.

The report states that the unauthorised flight was detected and tracked by the airspace monitoring systems of the National Army. 

The airspace violation occurred between 00:30 and 00:45, with the drone following this flight path: Pavlivka (Ukraine) – Carmanova – Maiac – Grigoriopol. Afterward, the drone left Moldova's airspace along the same route.  

The ministry did not provide additional details regarding the type of drone or its owner.

Russian drones have repeatedly fallen on Moldovan territory since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.

Moldova's airspace has also been violated by missiles, which has been condemned by the Moldovan authorities.
