Moldova is celebrating its 35th Independence Day with widespread festivities, including a parade and concert in Chisinau, featuring speeches from President Maia Sandu and Prime Minister Vasile Tofan. The celebrations also include the attendance of Romanian President Nicușor Dan and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a trilateral meeting. However, the national holiday has been marred by reports of airspace violations, with five drones detected over Moldova and a flying object spotted near the Chisinau-Basarabeasca route, prompting condemnation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In other domestic news, media outlet Agora has transitioned to a social media-only presence after 12 years of independent journalism, and a memorial complex dedicated to the victims of Soviet repressions has been constructed in Mereni.
