Moldova closes northern airspace after repeated drone incursions linked to Russia-Ukraine war

Moldova's Defense Ministry reported at least five drone incursions into its northern airspace on Thursday, prompting closure of the region's airspace. The incursions are attributed to Russian attacks on Ukraine, marking a spillover of the conflict into Moldovan territory. This escalates security risks for Moldova and NATO's eastern flank, though the drones' origin and intent remain unconfirmed.
