The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Moldova summoned the Russian Ambassador in Chisinau and handed him a note of protest in connection with the flight of drones and missiles, the origin of which has not been established, the press service of the republic’s foreign ministry reported.

This is the second call from the head of the Russian diplomatic mission in a week: on October 1, Russian Ambassador Oleg Ozerov was given a note of protest in connection with the discovery of drone debris at the end of September. Chisinau regularly places responsibility on Moscow, but does not provide evidence of the Russian origin of the drones.

The presentation of the new note followed reports of explosions on Saturday morning in the Causeni, Novo Aneni, Hincesti and Stefan Voda districts, where police discovered aircraft debris. The country's Ministry of Defense, in turn, announced the recording of unauthorized flights of objects in the airspace of the republic.

Earlier on Saturday, the Moldovan Defense Ministry reported that surveillance systems recorded six unauthorized flights: five devices, including three missiles and two drones, exploded on the ground, and another object crossed the border towards Ukraine. The police clarified that in the village of Krokmaz, falling debris caused a fire in a vineyard, but there were no casualties.

Open Questions

  • What is the identity of the detected aircraft?
  • Will specific retaliatory measures be taken by Moldova?
