"We strongly condemn the repeated discovery of debris of a military drone used by Russia in attacking Ukraine. Previous incident happened just two months ago. Moldova stands with Ukraine," the ministry wrote on X (former Twitter).

In February, the Moldovan border police said that the wreckage of a drone had been found in the south of the republic near the border with Ukraine near the town of Vulcanesti in Gagauzia. According to the border guards' preliminary version, it could be one of the drones shot down by the Ukrainian air defense system. A radar Moldova bought from France for 14.5 million euros ($15.6 million) failed to detect the drone.
