Just days earlier, on Aug. 5, wreckage from a Russian Geran-2 attack drone was discovered near the village of Văleni in southern Moldova’s Cahul district. The drone crashes come as Russia continues launching large-scale bombardments against Ukraine, frequently targeting port infrastructure in the country’s south near the Moldovan and Romanian borders.
