  "summary": "Russian drone incursions into Moldovan and Romanian airspace have become increasingly common. A recent incident involved a Russian Geran drone that flew from Crimea through Ukrainian airspace and crashed in a sunflower field near the Moldovan city of Riscani, also flying over Romania.\n\nThe drone incidents have caused concern, with observers suspecting that the attacks are deliberate attempts by Russia to bring the war to Ukraine's neighbors. According to DW English, the drones often explode, leaving people injured, and there have been recent attacks on Ukrainian checkpoints at the Moldovan and Romanian borders.\n\nA plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was prevented from taking off in the Moldovan capital Chisinau due to a drone incursion. The drone can fly as fast as 500 kilometers per hour. Two fighter jets were scrambled in response to the incident.",
