Moldovan authorities have initiated a criminal investigation against two Ukrainian border guards who illegally crossed into Moldova by motorboat. The incident occurred near Holosnita as the guards pursued a Ukrainian citizen, leading to concerns about border integrity and international protocols.
Separately, a Moldovan minister confirmed that a drone recently violating national airspace was Russian, part of a pattern of four detected illegal drone entries, with one drone having completed two circuits over the country. Meanwhile, the ongoing scrutiny of Yandex Go has seen the company respond to official demands for ownership and beneficiary disclosure, with a 20-day deadline now in effect.
Further domestic news includes an investigation into alleged sexual advances at a care home in Cocieri. Questions have also arisen regarding the funding source for congratulatory messages displayed in Chișinău's trolleybuses by Mayor Ion Ceban. In political developments, a candidate for Bashkan of Gagauzia pledged to restore ties with Russia and conduct a regional audit, following implications that the ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) has conceded defeat in the region.
