Assessment
Multiple drone incursions into Moldovan and Luxembourgish airspace have been reported, coinciding with Russia's claim of downing dozens of drones. These incidents are attributed to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, indicating a notable expansion of conflict spillover into non-NATO and EU member states.
