According to the Ministry, two airships crossed the country’s airspace on 7 November. They were spotted in the areas around the settlements of Moshana–Elizavetovka and Trifeuț–Ruslanovka. Two further similar incidents occurred on 11 November: the overflights were recorded near the village of Tudor in the Ștefan Vodă district and in Pervomaisk in Transnistria.
The following day, 12 November, fragments of a drone were discovered on the outskirts of Antonesti.
In total, seven such incidents have been recorded in Moldova since the start of November. Since the start of 2026, the number has reached 74, and since 2022 – 111.
The Ministry of Defence noted that the repeated incursions of drones and balloons, against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, pose risks to Moldova’s security. The Ministry considers it necessary to develop capabilities for monitoring airspace, detecting aerial objects and protecting the country’s territory, including through the use of modern defence systems.
