Two Russian drones launched toward Odessa violated Moldova's airspace and landed on Moldova's territory. President Maia Sandu commented on the matter, announcing the country's intention to acquire military equipment that would allow it to intercept unmanned aerial vehicles.
According to the Moldopress website, Russian machinery fell on Moldovan territory on November 10. The drone was used by the Russian military during a major attack on Odessa, but changed its flight route for unknown reasons.
