An unidentified small plane that went off the radar somewhere over central Moldova on Friday has been looked for over the weekend.

The Border Police said in a press release that on Friday, at 5:45 p.m. a small aircraft entered Moldova’s airspace from the side of the Transnistrian region, somewhere above Komarovka village. Some twenty minutes later, it vanished from the radar above Cucurezeni village in Orhei district.

According to the Border Police, the crossing of the airplane through the uncontrolled state border was confirmed by the Ukrainian Border Guards Service.

Mariana Bețivu, spokesperson for the Moldovan Police, said the Orhei police were informed by phone by the Ministry of Defense about the disappeared aircraft.

Both police and rescue officers were involved in the search over the entire weekend, which didn’t find any trace of the plane or any people in distress.

Liliana Puscasu, spokesperson for the Emergencies Inspectorate, told IPN that the search was discontinued this morning.
