Authorities in Chișinău have confirmed that several aircraft have flown over Moldova's airspace. In this context, they have urged the public to remain calm and, in the event of spotting suspicious objects or aircraft, to notify the relevant authorities or call 112.
A week ago, on November 10, two drones were discovered in our country—one in the village of Fîrlădeni, Căușeni, and the other in a field near the village of Borosenii Noi, Rîșcani. On November 12, another drone was discovered in the Criuleni district. According to the General Inspectorate of Police, the drone was found in the outskirts of Coșernița.
