5 Russian missiles and drones exploded on Moldova's territory in overnight attack against Ukraine, Sandu says
Officials said the weapons were part of Russia’s broader assault on Ukraine, and debris and explosions were reported at multiple sites.
- A drone crashed and exploded near Bender, Moldova, on Wednesday during a large-scale Russian attack on neighboring Ukraine, extending the regional security threat beyond Ukrainian borders.
- Russia launched 188 drones and missiles in the overnight assault, primarily targeting Kyiv, while Ukrainian forces intercepted 155 of the drones as Russian strikes damaged homes and infrastructure in 18 locations.
- After flying low over Bender, the drone crashed within Anenii Noi, leaving scorched marks on a civilian telecoms mast about 12 meters long. Monitoring systems later detected a second jet-powered drone crossing toward Soroca.
- Parliament speaker Igor Grosu condemned the strike, stating, "Russia will answer for its war crimes." Pro-Russian opposition lawmakers registered a motion to suspend Sandu, alleging she fails to protect Moldova.
- Moldova has become a regular waypoint for Russia's drone war, with wreckage found repeatedly this year. Kovalenko contends pro-Russian forces are running a destabilization campaign, pressing a message at Moldovans: "if you don't want war, get rid of Sandu.
