Minister: I condemn every case

These incidents were condemned by Defense Minister Anatolie Nosatii. "Even if all the objects left the territory of the country after a short time, this does not mean that their intrusion did not pose a threat. Any violation of the national airspace poses a risk to the safety of citizens. (...) I condemn any violation that threatens national security," he wrote on Facebook.

He added that the situation is still being monitored.
