The emergency measure was taken when two unidentified drones flew over Moldovan territory and caused "a direct threat to aviation safety," the Ministry of Defense said.
Moldova, located between Ukraine and Romania, has reported several violations of its airspace in recent years. Earlier this week, it was reported that a drone crashed in the country, in connection with a total of six drones flying over its territory.
President Maia Sandu accuses Russia of sending drones via Moldova during attacks on Ukraine.
"On their way to kill civilians, Russian drones once again violated Moldovan airspace," she writes on X.
“We condemn these attacks and stand with Ukraine,” she adds.
