Moldova expels Russian diplomat after Russian Geran drone falls near family homes

Moldova declared a Russian embassy member persona non grata following a drone incident that endangered local residents. President Maia Sandu emphasized the risks posed by Russia's ongoing war, highlighting the drone's descent near homes and an energy facility. The drone entered Moldovan airspace during a Russian attack on Ukraine, marking a troubling trend of aerial incursions. Moldova's defense ministry noted the drone's erratic flight path, raising concerns about regional security. In response to these threats, Moldova plans to construct shelters at border crossings for protection.
