Kyiv said Moscow attacked Ukraine with 140 drones overnight, injuring one person in the Izmail district of Ukraine’s Odesa region that lies on the Danube River and borders Romania and Moldova.
Moldovan President Maia Sandu said two Russian drones had violated Moldova’s airspace and exploded in its territory, “putting Moldovan lives at risk”.
“Russia respects no borders, attacks civilians, spreads terror...Leave us, peaceful nations, alone,” she wrote on X. Mihai Popșoi, Moldova’s foreign minister said the ministry would summon the Russian ambassador over the incidents.
Out of 140 drones, the Ukrainian air force said it shot down 85 drones and 52 did not reach their targets likely due to electronic countermeasures.
Two Russian drones were suspected of flying over Nato country Romania to attack a port in Ukraine.
