Russian Missile crosses into Moldova, Ukrainian officials say

A top Ukrainian general has claimed that two Russian missiles crossed into Romanian and Moldovan airspace.

Moldova's Foreign Minister Nicu Popescu has instructed authorities to urgently summon the Russian ambassador, after the Ukrainian and Moldovan governments alleged a Russian cruise missile crossed the territory of Moldova.

The move has been made to "point out to the Russian side the unacceptable violation of our airspace by a Russian missile over the sovereign territory of the Republic of Moldova," the ministry tweeted Friday.

"We call on Russia to stop its military aggression against Ukraine that causes loss of human life and material destruction," it added.

Russian missiles have crossed over Moldova, which borders Ukraine, several times over the course of the nearly year-long war.
