Moldova's Foreign Ministry has condemnd Russia's "aggressive" actions after two Russian drones entered Moldovan airspace and crashed on its territory on November 10. One of the drones was found by police in Borosenii Noi, a village in northern Moldova some 45 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, while the other one was located in the southern village of Firladeni, 40 kilometers from the border with Ukraine. Both were "decoy" drones used to mislead Ukrainian air defenses during attacks. "We firmly condemn these aggressive incursions and reiterate our condemnation of Russia's brutal war against Ukraine," the ministry said in a statement. Russia's Foreign Ministry "categorically" rejected the accusation, saying there was no evidence to back up the Moldovan claims. At least 15 incidents involving Russian drones have been documented by Moldova since the start of Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
