Drone enters Romanian airspace after crossing Moldova
An unidentified drone entered Moldovan airspace and later crossed into Romania during another Russian drone attack on Ukraine on Aug. 24, Moldova’s Defense Ministry said, NewsMaker reported.
On August 24, a drone entered Moldovan airspace from Ukraine's Odesa Oblast and later crossed into Romania, heading towards the Vedești area in Galați County. The incident occurred shortly after Russia launched a missile and drone attack on Ukraine, primarily targeting food warehouses and energy infrastructure, resulting in injuries and damage to facilities.
Moldovan authorities temporarily restricted airspace in the south of the country for 15 minutes due to the incident, while Romania scrambled two F-16 fighter jets and an IAR-330 SOCAT helicopter for monitoring. The origin of the drone remains under investigation.
