(CNBC) - A rocket was discovered in northern Moldova after Russia's nationwide bombardment of Ukraine, the Moldovan Ministry of Interior Affairs said.


"A little while ago, near the city of Briceni, a rocket was discovered by a patrol of the border police, who, due to the Russian bombings today, have intensified their level of attention," the Moldovan Ministry of Interior Affairs shared on Facebook.


The area is cordoned off by police and border patrols, with specialized services from the Ministry expected at the scene, the Ministry said.


The rocket could heighten concerns about the spillover of the war, particularly for nations that border both Russia and Ukraine. In mid-November, an errant Ukrainian missile struck a village in Poland, killing two farmers. While the international community deemed it an accident, they ultimately blamed Russia for its initial provocation of the war that resulted in the external casualties.
