Drones over Moldova, explosion reported in Dereneu near Ukraine border

Two drone sightings and an explosion report in central Moldova on the night of September 20 suggest possible spillover from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as Moldovan airspace has been repeatedly violated by drones during Russian strikes on Ukraine. The incident is unconfirmed and under police investigation; it matters as it tests Moldova's neutrality and air defense capabilities.
