Russian drones increasingly violate Moldovan airspace, detonate on territory

Russian drone and missile incursions into Moldova have risen sharply, with projectiles now detonating across the country, including near Chișinău, causing injuries at border crossings. Moldova lacks effective air defense, leaving it exposed to spillover from the Ukraine conflict. The trend signals escalating regional instability and a growing security threat to a neutral state.

Russian Drone Incursions Escalate in Moldova, Continue Near Romanian Border

Russian drone and missile incursions into Moldovan airspace have escalated, with projectiles now detonating across Moldova, including near Chișinău, causing injuries. While Romania has scrambled F-16s in response to drones near its border, confirmed airspace breaches into Romania remain limited, with one drone tracked entering Romanian airspace before crossing into Ukraine. This indicates a heightened and expanding threat to Moldovan sovereignty and regional stability, with continued spillover risk for NATO's eastern flank.
