On Sunday, November 10, a second drone was found in northern Moldova after a massive Russian drone attack against Ukraine.
According to the General Inspectorate of the Moldovan police, the second drone was found in a field near the village of Boroseni Noi, in the Rishkan district of Moldova. Law enforcement officers fenced off the area around the drone's crash site so that experts could investigate it.
The Moldovan police also provided new details about the first drone that went down in the Kaushan district:
"After the initial examination, it was found that it was a Russian-made Shahed drone with no explosives on it. Preliminarily, it was part of a wave of drone strikes that Ukraine suffered last night," the statement said.
The number of people injured in the attack on Odesa by unmanned aerial vehicles on the night of November 10 has increased to two. According to the Air Command, on the night of November 10, 2024 (from 20:00 on November 9), the enemy attacked with a record number of unmanned aerial vehicles, firing 145. As of 9:30 a.m., the military confirmed the downing of 62 enemy UAVs in Odesa, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Kharkiv, Poltava, Sumy, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi, Chernihiv, Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk regions.
In October, starting on September 29, NATO stepped up surveillance of Romania's airspace, deploying an Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft.
During a massive attack by Russians in Odesa region on the night of September 27, one Russian army drone entered Romanian airspace. Before that, on the evening of September 7, a group of Russian Shahed attack drones violated Romanian airspace, which led to warnings to residents of Tulcea and Constanta counties about the risk of objects falling from the airspace. According to the Romanian publication hotnews.ro, representatives of the Tulcea Emergency Situations Inspectorate explained that these messages were necessary to inform the population of the Romanian border area.
The command of the Ukrainian Air Force also reported that the unmanned aerial vehicle was over the territory of Romania in the Sabandzia area, flew over Vilkovo and continued to fly over the coastal waters of the Gulf of Odesa.
