Khaberni - Moldovan police deployed bomb disposal experts on Wednesday to an area several miles from the Ukrainian border after a resident mistakenly thought a drone on the ground was a "toy" and took it home.
When police arrived at the town of Bubeni in the Singerei district, located about 100 kilometers north of the capital Chisinau, they discovered that the drone, found four days earlier, had already been dismantled.
The police stated that the drone did not contain explosives and did not pose any danger, and urged residents to "not touch drones or similar objects found on the ground or attempt to move them."
The authorities did not specify the origin of the drone, but indicated that it was of the "Gerbera" type, commonly used in basic attacks or reconnaissance. Russia has used such drones in Ukraine.
