The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has announced that it urgently summoned the accredited Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Chisinau, Oleg Ozerov, to request official explanations and to protest against these unacceptable actions. It follows an incident last night when two drones exploded in the south of the country after a massive attack on the port of Reni in Ukraine.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses deep concern and strongly condemns the repeated violations of national airspace by drones launched as a result of Russian attacks on infrastructure in southern Ukraine. On the night of February 12-13, Border Police patrols detected several drones crossing the territory of the Republic of Moldova. Two crashed and exploded in uninhabited areas—one near the village of Ciumai, Taraclia district, and another in a field approximately 1.5 kilometers from Ceadir-Lunga and Valea Perjei.
These incidents threaten our citizens’ security and highlight the growing risks to regional stability. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but Moldova cannot accept such violations of its airspace.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in coordination with relevant national institutions and international partners, is closely monitoring the situation and will continue to take all necessary measures to protect the Republic of Moldova and its citizens,” the MFA statement reads.
