A Moldovan Defense Briefing: No Airspace Violation by Black Sea Missiles
The Moldovan Defense Ministry has rejected claims that three missiles from the Black Sea crossed the country’s airspace. According to a report by deschide.md, the ministry addressed these rumors and emphasized that there was no verified incursion into Moldovan airspace during the morning bombardment of Ukrainian cities.
In a formal statement, the Defense Ministry asserted that reports circulating on social channels did not reflect the situation on the ground. It stressed that there was no confirmed breach of Moldovan airspace by cruise missiles launched from the Black Sea and that the authorities continue to monitor the airspace to ensure vigilance and safety for the population.
The ministry also noted that several local Telegram channels had claimed that at least three Russian missiles had crossed into Moldova. The ministry described these reports as unfounded and consistent with a pattern of misinformation that can accompany regional tensions, especially during renewed hostilities in neighboring areas.
Meanwhile, in other regional developments, former Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko reported on current energy security concerns, indicating that energy infrastructure facilities in seven Ukrainian regions were under attack. On March 9, residents in various parts of Ukraine reported hearing a series of explosions, underscoring the persistent risk to critical infrastructure amid ongoing conflict in the region. These events have prompted multiple governments and independent observers to reassess protective measures for essential facilities and to coordinate response plans across borders to mitigate potential disruptions in power supply and related services.
