Jetdrevet drone eksploderer nær Colonița uden for Chișinău
I natten mellem 17. og 18. september 2026 rapporterede beboere nær Colonița i udkanten af Chișinău en kraftig eksplosion omkring kl. 04:20. Moldavisk politi lokaliserede senere fragmenter af et ubemandet luftfartøj i området. Sprængstofspecialister sikrede stedet og begyndte at undersøge vraget. Moldovas politichef bekræftede efterfølgende, at objektet var en drone og ikke en missil. En foreløbig undersøgelse fandt en jetfremdrivningsmotor blandt de bjærgede komponenter. Den nøjagtige model og producent var endnu ikke formelt fastslået, da de første fund blev offentliggjort. Moldovas forsvarsministerium sagde, at dets overvågningssystemer ikke havde registreret en luftrumskrænkelse i løbet af natten, hvilket betyder, at dronens rute forblev uafklaret. Begivenheden fandt sted kun en dag efter, at en anden uautoriseret UAV havde krydset Moldova under russiske angreb på Odesa-regionen. Russiske angrebssystemer havde gentagne gange trængt ind i eller krydset Moldova i løbet af samme måned, herunder flere teknisk identificerede Geran/Gerbera-systemer.

On the night of 17–18 September 2026, residents near Colonița on the outskirts of Chișinău reported a powerful explosion at approximately 04:20. Moldovan police later located fragments of an unmanned aerial vehicle in the area. Explosives specialists secured the site and began examining the wreckage. Moldova’s police chief subsequently confirmed that the object was a drone rather than a missile. Preliminary examination found a jet-propulsion engine among the recovered components. The exact model and manufacturer had not yet been formally established when the initial findings were announced. Moldova’s Ministry of Defence said its monitoring systems had not registered an airspace violation during the night, meaning the drone’s route remained unresolved. The event occurred only one day after another unauthorised UAV had crossed Moldova during Russian attacks on the Odesa region. Russian strike systems had repeatedly penetrated or crossed Moldova during the same month, including several technically identified Geran/Gerbera systems..
