Three missiles Russia launched at Ukraine on Monday from ships in the Black Sea crossed Moldova’s airspace.
Popescu said that Russia’s ambassador to Moldova has been summoned to provide an explanation. The violation of a country’s airspace constitutes a breach of international law. Popescu condemned the airspace violation in the “strongest possible terms.”

Multiple explosions rocked Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities across the country Monday morning, including Lviv, Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia earlier in the night. It was the first time Ukraine’s capital has been under attack since June 26.
Like Ukraine, tiny Moldova is a former part of the Soviet Union with a pro-Western government.
