Two Russian Kalibr cruise missiles were reported to have crossed the Ukrainian border with Moldova in the morning on Feb. 10 and then entered Romanian airspace, according to a statement from Valerii Zaluzhnyi, commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Zaluzhnyi also reported that the missiles then entered Ukrainian airspace at the crossing point of the borders of three states.
The missiles' crossing into Moldova was soon confirmed in a statement by the Moldovan defense ministry.
The responsible structures observed "a missile, which crossed the airspace of the Republic of Moldova, over the town of Mocra in the Transnistrian region and, later, over the town of Cosauți in the Soroca district, heading towards Ukraine," the statement read.
