Four cases of unauthorized overflight of the Republic of Moldova’s airspace were recorded last night amid massive attacks launched by Russia against Ukraine. Authorities in Chisinau monitored the unmanned aircraft, which entered and quickly exited the national territory through several points along the border with Ukraine.

The first incursion was detected at 23:02, on the Timcovo, Odesa region–Ivanovca route. The aircraft left Moldovan airspace at 23:20, through the area of Bronit. A second aircraft entered at 03:37, from Starokazachye toward Tudora, and exited one minute later along the same trajectory.

At 03:46, a third aircraft crossed the airspace on the Mogilev-Podolsky–Otaci route, leaving the territory of the Republic of Moldova at 03:48 through the Hădărăuți area. The fourth was detected at 05:59, between Starokazachye and Căplani. It later returned via Purcari and exited the national airspace at 06:10 through the Transnistrian region.

Minister of Defense Anatolie Nosatîi condemned the incidents and warned that any violation of the airspace poses a risk to citizens’ safety. Authorities continue to monitor the situation.

Context: Moldova a raportat anterior mai multe survolări neautorizate, în contextul atacurilor rusești asupra Ucrainei

În ultimele săptămâni, autoritățile de la Chișinău au anunțat repetat pătrunderi ale unor aparate de zbor fără pilot în spațiul aerian al Republicii Moldova, pe fondul atacurilor masive lansate de Rusia asupra Ucrainei. În unele cazuri, aparatele au intrat și au ieșit rapid din teritoriul național, iar Serviciul Operații Aeriene a continuat monitorizarea în coordonare cu instituțiile competente și partenerii externi.

Au existat și incidente în care au fost semnalate prăbușiri sau căderi de obiecte în apropierea frontierei, cu verificări ulterioare pentru identificarea eventualelor fragmente. În astfel de situații, Ministerul Afacerilor Externe a calificat pătrunderile neautorizate drept încălcări grave ale suveranității Republicii Moldova, iar autoritățile au transmis că investighează circumstanțele.

Totodată, Republica Moldova a respins explicațiile privind originea aparatelor, iar un ambasador agreat al Rusiei a negat că dronele ar aparține Moscovei, după ce fusese convocat la Ministerul Afacerilor Externe de la Chișinău. În paralel, au fost raportate mai multe încălcări ale spațiului aerian, inclusiv în zone apropiate de Ucraina și în regiunea transnistreană.
