Naslavcea is a village in Ocnița District and the northernmost point in Moldova. The village, situated along the Dniester river that separates Moldova and Ukraine, has an ethnic Ukrainian majority.[2][3]
2022 Russian missile incident
[edit | edit source]On 31 October 2022, during the nationwide missile attacks in Ukraine, occurring during the Russian invasion, Russia launched a missile attack on a hydroelectric power plant, situated 10 kilometers north from the village, in Ukrainian territory. Debris of a missile, shot down by the Ukrainian forces, fell down in the territory of Moldova, near Naslavcea, causing damage to 21 households. For the first time since the beginning of the invasion, a third country would be affected by attacks, until Poland was hit by a missile only two weeks later.[4][5][6] The Moldovan president, Maia Sandu, undertook a visit in Naslavcea on 3 November, where she criticized Russia for the actions. Sergiu Diaconu, Moldova's deputy interior minister, called the incident to be "an accident".[7] The incident came three weeks after three Russian missiles flew over Moldova, violating Moldovan airspace.[8]
