An unidentified unmanned aerial vehicle violated the airspace of the Republic of Moldova on the night of February 3 near the border with Odesa region.
This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Moldova.
The unauthorized flight was detected and tracked by airspace monitoring systems of the National Army of Moldova. The incident was recorded from 00:30 to 00:45 on the highway: Pavlivka, Ukraine - Karmanova Commune - Mayak - Grigoriopol.
The aircraft subsequently left the airspace of the Republic of Moldova.

Also, the remains of Russian drones have been found on the territory of Moldova on several occasions. For example, Moldovan Foreign Minister Mihai Popschiu condemned the violation of Moldovan airspace by two Russian drones on Sunday, November 10.
In the evening of November 10, the second drone in 24 hours was found in northern Moldova after a massive Russian drone attack against Ukraine.
On the morning of November 10, the General Inspectorate of the Moldovan Police reported the discovery of an unknown drone that had crashed near the village of Firledeni, Kaushan district, near the border with Odesa region. Later, they added that a second drone was found in a field near the village of Boroseni Noi in the Rishkan district of Moldova. After the initial examination of the first drone, it was found that it was a Russian-made Shahed drone with no explosives on it.
Drones also fly into Romania. During a massive attack by Russians in Odesa region on the night of September 27, one Russian army drone entered Romanian airspace.
