Five drones were detected flying over Moldova on Saturday morning, with explosions reported in several districts of the country, according to Ukrinform.
Moldova's national airspace monitoring system picked up the drones' presence, though the available report does not specify their point of origin, flight paths, or the type of aircraft involved.
The explosions reported in multiple districts raise questions about potential damage or casualties, though Ukrinform's report does not detail the extent of any harm caused or confirm a direct link between the drone sightings and the explosions.
Moldova, which borders Ukraine, has periodically reported drone incursions and debris finds on its territory since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of its neighbor in 2022, incidents often associated with the broader regional conflict.
Moldovan authorities had not, according to the available report, issued a detailed statement identifying responsibility for the drones or outlining a response to Saturday morning's incidents at the time of publication.
