The agency also reported minor damage and one person with minor injuries.<\/p>\n Reports available from the Moldovan Ministry of Defence and the police describe six sorties and confirm one explosion in the Dondu\u0219ani district, where there were reportedly no casualties.<\/p>\n The Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the violation of its airspace as a serious breach of the state\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity and warned of the danger to the population. The ministry called on Russia to cease its attacks on Ukraine.
