Moldova has summoned the Russian ambassador over two Russian drones which fell in Moldovan territory at the weekend.
Chisnau said the two “decoy” drones used to try and confuse Ukrainian air defences violated its airspace and crashed deep inside its territory on Sunday.
They were found in the northern village of Borosenii Noi and the southern village of Firladeni, according to police.
Moldova’s deputy prime minister, Mihai Popsoi, said the country “firmly” condemned the incursion.
Russia regularly launches barrages of drones at Ukraine, and some have occasionally strayed into Moldovan territory.
Three killed and 19 hurt in Russian attacks on Dnipro
At least three people were killed and another 19 injured in Russian attacks on Ukraine’s eastern Dnipro region yesterday, officials said.
Russian shelling killed two people and wounded five in Nikopol, according to regional governor Serhiy Lysak, while a medical facility, cafe and shops were also damaged.
A woman’s body was pulled from under the rubble of a residential building hit in Kryvyi Rih, with Lysak warning last night that her three children could still be trapped.
At least 14 more people were injured in the attack on the city, including a 10-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy, the governor said.
