Ukraine’s top general initially said the missiles flew over Moldova and Romania, but Bucharest denied any violation of its airspace.
KYIV, Ukraine — A Russian missile fired at Ukraine crossed over Moldova on Friday morning and came within 22 miles of the border of Romania, a NATO member, prompting the Romanians to scramble two fighter jets that were on an exercise under NATO command, the Romanian Defense Ministry said.
“After about two minutes the situation was clarified,” the ministry said in its statement, “and the two aircraft resumed their original mission.” In a statement posted to his Telegram channel, Zaluzhny said that the “at 10:18 a.m., two Russian Kalibr cruise missiles crossed the state border of Ukraine with the Republic of Moldova. At approximately 10:33 a.m., these missiles crossed Romanian airspace. After that, they again entered the airspace of Ukraine at the crossing point of the borders of the three states.”While Romania denied that account, Moldovan officials confirmed the violation of their airspace.
