🚀 Projectile

A border guard sustained minor injuries when a projectile landed near the Palanca crossing, an incident that prompted police to close two regional roads and redirect traffic. It was a busy morning for the foreign ministry, which summoned the Russian ambassador after police identified drone fragments found on domestic soil as a Banderol model. The spillover from the neighboring conflict coincides with domestic friction over the Dniester River. Education Minister Dan Perchun rebuked the mayor of Chisinau for blaming Ukraine for a local drought, suggesting such accusations served the Kremlin’s interests. President Maia Sandu, meanwhile, spent the morning discussing how artificial intelligence and disinformation are complicating the classroom. The United States has designated the A7 network of the fugitive businessman Ilan Shor as a transnational criminal organization. Closer to home, a journalistic investigation into the real estate holdings of the foreign minister, Mihai Popșoi, found he had invested in property alongside partners described as controversial.
