Moldova's foreign ministry condemned Russia's "aggressive" actions after two Russian drones entered Moldova's airspace and crashed on its territory on November 10.
One of the drones was found by the police in Boroseni Noi, a village in northern Moldova about 45 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, while the other was located in the southern village of Firladeni, 40 kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
Both were decoy drones used to mislead Ukrainian air defenses during the attack.
"We strongly condemn these aggressive incursions and reiterate our condemnation of Russia's brutal war against Ukraine," the ministry said in a statement.
At least 15 incidents involving Russian drones have been reported in Moldova since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Relations between Moscow and Chisinau have been strained since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but also because of Chisinau's accusations of Russia's interference in the elections in the Republic of Moldova.
Last week, the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned the Ambassador of the Republic of Moldova, Lilian Dari, to express his "firm protest" against the "unreasonable" refusal to accredit international observers from Russia in the presidential election and referendum on October 20.
