Moldova summons Russian ambassador after towards Ukraine missile overflight

Moldova on Friday said it would summon Russia's ambassador after Chisinau claimed that a missile crossed the airspace of the ex-Soviet republic.

The ambassador would be summoned "to indicate to the Russian side the unacceptable violation of our airspace by a Russian missile that today flew over the sovereign territory of Republic of Moldova," the foreign ministry said in a press release.

 The Ministry of Defense of Moldova confirmed that the airspace of the country was violated by a missile. The rocket flew over the cities of Mokra in the Transnistrian region and Kosauts of the Soroca region. She was heading towards Ukraine. In connection with the incident, the Russian ambassador was summoned to the MFA of Moldova. The Kremlin did not comment on the information about the violation of airspace.
