MOSCOW, November 11. /TASS/. Moscow categorically rejects unfounded accusations by Chisinau about the alleged violation of Moldovan airspace by Russian drones, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

Earlier, the Moldovan Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the discovery of drones allegedly fired from the territory of Russia to distract Ukrainian air defenses.

"We categorically reject unfounded anti-Russian outbursts, which unfortunately have become the norm for Moldova. Once again, no evidence was presented that the drones were of Russian origin and launched from the territory of our country. The Moldovan Foreign Ministry limited itself to referring to the alleged 'precise information' available to the Moldovan side, without providing any details. We are sure that the evidence will never be presented because there is none," the diplomat said in a statement.

She added that Russia is not sending drones to countries bordering Ukraine. "We reiterate that during the special military operation, the Russian Armed Forces do not use or send drones to the territory of the states bordering Ukraine, which includes Moldova," the spokeswoman pointed out. "The legitimate targets of the Russian actions are only Ukrainian military facilities and related infrastructure," she added.

Zakharova emphasized that information about two drones allegedly shot down in Moldova appeared simultaneously with the massive Ukrainian attack on Russian civilian facilities. "Thus, on November 10, from 12:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Moscow time, the Ukrainian military launched a total of 84 drones. This coincidence indicates the desire of the Kiev authorities to provoke Moldova into full-scale involvement in the hostilities on the side of Ukraine and the West. We once again call on the Moldovan authorities to abandon anti-Russian rhetoric and not to give in to such provocations," she said.
