Moldova's Foreign Ministry has summoned Russia's ambassador in Chisinau, Oleg Ozerov, for the second time within a week and handed him a note of protest, the Russian business daily Kommersant reported.
According to the report, the move followed the entry of several drones and missiles into Moldovan airspace. Kommersant's cited report did not specify exact dates, locations or the number of devices involved beyond naming the incursions as the reason for the protest.
Moldova, which borders Ukraine, has repeatedly reported airspace violations linked to the war in the neighboring country and has previously summoned Russian diplomats over similar incidents.
A protest note is a formal diplomatic step typically used to register objection to an incident without necessarily signaling further measures. It was not clear from the report what response, if any, the Russian side gave.
Tensions between Chisinau and Moscow have remained elevated amid the broader regional conflict, with Moldovan officials repeatedly voicing concern over spillover from the war in Ukraine.
