Friday, 10 February 2023

Two Russian Kalibr cruise missiles crossed Ukraine's border with Moldova and flew into Romania's airspace.

"Two Russian Kalibr cruise missiles crossed the state border of Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova on 10 February at 10:18.

At approximately 10:33, these missiles crossed into Romanian air space. After this, the said air targets re-entered Ukrainian airspace where the borders of the three states meet. At the moment, this target is being monitored, and measures to shoot it down are also being taken.

The missile was launched from the Black Sea," Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, wrote on Facebook.

The Ministry of Defence of Moldova later confirmed the violation of the airspace of Moldova at 10:18. The missile flew over the village of Mokra (Rybnytsky District, Transnistria) and then over Kosautsy (Sorok District).

"The Ministry of Defence, together with the responsible structures of the country, is closely monitoring the situation in the region and strongly condemns the violation of the airspace of the Republic of Moldova," the Ministry said.

As reported, during a missile attack in January, the fragments of a missile fell on the territory of Moldova for the third time.

Moldova wants to criminalise missile attacks on Ukraine, during which Russian missiles also cross Moldova's airspace. The very fact of the missile flight should be punished by imprisonment from 3 to 12 years, and if the missile injured or killed a person, the punishment increases to 10-20 years.
