Russia has expelled a Moldovan diplomat in retaliation for Moldova's earlier expulsion of a Russian embassy staff member following a drone incident. The Russian Foreign Ministry cited reciprocity in its decision, while denying allegations regarding the drone's origin. Moldova's President had previously claimed a Russian drone violated its airspace and crashed near residential areas. Russia dismissed these accusations as unfounded and criticized Moldova's actions as hostile, jeopardizing long-standing bilateral relations.
