Moldova condemns violation of airspace, explosion of aerial object

Moldova's foreign ministry has strongly condemned the violation of its airspace by an unidentified aerial object, which subsequently exploded near the settlement of Talmaza on Monday. The object breached Moldovan airspace at 1737 local time (1437 GMT) and detonated shortly after, causing a grass fire but resulting in no casualties.

Moldova shares a border with Ukraine and has been facing numerous incidents involving drones flying over its territory and debris found near the border. The explosion of the unidentified aerial object near the Ukrainian border poses a direct threat to the safety of Moldovan citizens and constitutes a serious violation of the country's sovereignty, according to the foreign ministry's statement on social media.
