“Russia’s massive attack on Ukraine has once again reached Moldova this morning: four Russian drones violated our airspace, and at least one exploded in the north. Russia’s war is endangering the whole of Europe. We condemn this war and stand with Ukraine,” said Maia Sandu.
The Speaker of Parliament, Igor Grosu, said that several towns in the north of the country had been overflown by drones, and two of them had exploded on the ground. According to him, the explosions reportedly occurred in the area around the town of Camenca, on the left bank of the Dniester, and near the village of Cernița, in the Florești district.
“This poses a direct threat to our security and is a flagrant violation of our sovereignty,” said Grosu. He urged citizens to remain calm and vigilant and to report any suspicious objects to the authorities immediately.
“We strongly condemn these violations by the Russian Federation. The war against Ukraine is affecting us ever more directly,” the Speaker of Parliament added.
For its part, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the repeated violations of the Republic of Moldova’s airspace by Russian drones launched as part of the attacks on Ukraine. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that responsibility for these incidents lies with the Russian Federation and called on Moscow to cease its attacks on Ukraine and any action that threatens the security of the Republic of Moldova and its citizens.
According to the Air Operations Service, four instances of unauthorised overflights of national airspace were recorded this morning, between 05:21 and 07:11. The drones crossed the border in the districts of Briceni, Soroca, Florești and Șoldănești, after which they left the territory of the Republic of Moldova or disappeared from radar.
For security reasons, the airspace in the north of the country was temporarily closed and reopened at 07:46.
