Five violations were recorded overnight.
On the night of October 16 and on Friday morning, several drones violated the airspace of the Republic of Moldova, according to TV8.
The drones crossed the border amid massive Russian attacks on Ukraine. The incidents were recorded in northern and southeastern Moldova. No reports of crashes or explosions were received.
The first violation was recorded at 11:02 p.m. The drone crossed the border from the direction of the town of Tymkove in Ukraine’s Odesa Oblast and headed toward the village of Ivanivka. Eighteen minutes later, it left Moldovan airspace, heading toward the Ukrainian settlement of Bronit.
The second incident was recorded at 03:37. The drone approached from the direction of the Ukrainian village of Starokozachye in the Odessa region, heading toward the village of Tudora in the Stefan-Vodsky district. A minute later, it returned to Ukrainian territory via the same route.
At 03:46, another drone crossed the border in the north from the direction of Mohyliv-Podilskyi, heading toward the city of Ataki. Two minutes later, it left Moldovan airspace near the village of Hederăuți in the Ocnita District.
The fourth violation was recorded at 05:59. A drone entered the country’s airspace from the direction of Starokozachye and headed toward the village of Kaplany in the Ștefan Vodă district. A minute later, the drone left Moldovan territory near the village of Olenesti.
At 06:09, the same drone crossed the border again near the village of Purkar in the Stefan Voda district. A minute later, it left the country’s airspace via the Dnestrovsk area in the Transnistrian region, heading toward the Ukrainian settlement of Hradenytsia.
In less than seven hours, the Ministry of Defense recorded five instances of unauthorized incursions by aircraft into the airspace of the Republic of Moldova.
