In addition, he recommended that citizens not touch such objects and, instead, inform the authorities.Following a similar incident last week, Moldova lodged a protest with the Russian ambassador.
Özerov later stated that the Moldovan side had not provided any evidence of the airspace invasion, that the drones were manufactured in Russia, or that they had been intentionally launched by Moscow.
