The Moldovan defence ministry reported that a Russian Geran-2 crashed and exploded at Copanca, roughly 25 kilometres from the Moldovan-Ukrainian border, after entering Moldovan airspace. Moldova has no fighter aircraft and no integrated air defence, so incidents on its territory are recorded on impact rather than intercepted in the air.
