Moldova’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said a Shahed-type unmanned aerial vehicle violated the airspace of the Republic of Moldova and caused restrictions on civilian air traffic around Chisinau.

In a social media post, Moldova’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the drone entered Moldovan airspace and passed over the country’s territory.

The ministry said the entry of drones into Moldovan airspace and the resulting restrictions on civilian flights demonstrate that the threat is real and immediate.

The statement said the violation of Moldova’s airspace directly affects the safety of civilian air traffic.

Moldova’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs argued that these incidents are a direct consequence of Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine.

The ministry also said the drone’s violation of the airspace demonstrates Russia’s attitude toward international law.

The statement added that the latest developments send a stronger message than Russia’s claims of a sincere commitment to peace or negotiations.
