Police discover combat drone fragments in Moldova's Crocmaz after explosion and fire

Fragments believed to be from a combat drone were discovered in Crocmaz, Moldova, following a powerful explosion and vegetation fire; no injuries were reported. Police specialists will examine the fragments to establish what caused the blast. The fire, which burned dry vegetation and stubble, was extinguished by firefighters. Authorities urged residents to avoid the secured zone and report suspicious objects to emergency services. Similar incidents have occurred since the Ukraine war began. In February 2024, Shahed drone debris with about 50 kilograms of explosives was found in Etulia. Authorities say drones likely originate from Russian attacks on Ukraine.
