(MENAFN) A significant member of Eastern NATO has rejected a declaration from Ukraine's top military officer in which Russia was charged with sending a missile over Ukrainian territory. On Friday, Romania denied the assertion.
The head of Ukraine's armed forces, Valery Zaluzhny, had asserted that two Kalibr cruise missiles fired by a Russian cruiser in the Black Sea had entered Ukrainian airspace, traveled through Moldova, then into Romania, and finally returned to Ukraine.
Nevertheless, the Defense Ministry of neighboring Moldova reported that a missile had entered its airspace close to the town of Mocra in the Transnistria breakaway area. The alleged breach occurred at the same time as what Zaluzhny claimed.
According to the military ministry of Moldova, a missile from Transnistria's breakaway area had penetrated Moldovan airspace close to the town of Mocra. The alleged breach occurred at the same time as what Zaluzhny claimed.
The rocket, according to the government, traveled back into Ukraine over the Soroca district town of Cosauti. The distance between Cosauti and the intersection of the frontiers of Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine is around 120 kilometers.
