Moldova is a small country that sits right next to Ukraine.

On Monday, something flew into Moldova's sky that nobody could identify.

That thing later exploded.

Moldova's leaders said this was not okay and spoke out against it.

They said the country's airspace had been violated.

Moldova supports Ukraine in a big war with Russia.

Because it is so close to the fighting, drones sometimes fly over Moldova.

Pieces of drones have also been found near the border before.

The government wants people to know it is paying close attention to what happens in its skies.

The statement was shared on social media.
