recall
Since the beginning of Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, the territory of Moldova has repeatedly noticed drone flights or found wreckage of fallen drones. So, on November 28, residents of the village of Birnovo reported that they noticed flying rockets, after which they heard explosions on the territory of Ukraine, near the Novodnestrovskaya hydroelectric power station. After that, the country's Defense Minister Anatoly Nosaty said that the Russian military "carefully chooses the flight path near the Moldovan borders" in order to hit targets in western Ukraine. As a result, it is very difficult to determine whether Russian missiles violated Moldovan airspace.
On December 3, it was reported that in the Orheevsky District of Moldova, the wreckage of UAVs was found near the village of Podgoren.
