Foreign Ministry: Drone detected in Crocmaz, of Russian origin, represents serious violation of sovereignty of Moldova

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that the drone detected on the territory of Crocmaz, Ștefan Vodă district, is of Russian origin and describes the incident as a serious violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova.

According to the ministry, the authorities of the Republic of Moldova firmly condemn this incident and denounce the war of aggression waged by the Russian Federation against Ukraine, which, according to the institution, brings suffering, losses, and destruction to Ukraine and gravely affects regional security.

The ministry emphasizes that such actions also directly endanger the safety of the citizens of the Republic of Moldova, in the context of the deteriorating security situation in the region.

In this context, the Republic of Moldova reaffirms its commitment to strengthening peace and national security and announces that it will continue all necessary steps to protect its territory and population.

In the morning, a drone was found in the garden of an uninhabited house in the locality of Crocmaz, and police specialists intervened to examine and secure the area.
