US EditionRomania finds parts of second drone after overnight Russian attack on Ukraine
Romania said two drone fragments damaged property and prompted evacuations after the overnight attack, but no one was injured, officials said.
- On Saturday, Romania recovered fragments of two drones following an overnight Russian attack on Ukraine, with parts found in Galati and Tulcea damaging an electricity pole and a household annex.
- While drone fragments have routinely fallen on Romania, this incident marked the first time property sustained damage, prompting the Defence Ministry to condemn the "irresponsible actions" as a new challenge to regional security.
- The Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador in protest, while Romania's emergency response agency temporarily evacuated residents near Galati due to the potential presence of an explosive charge.
- Defence Minister Radu Miruta announced a US-made, AI-powered Merops system will be integrated within days to counter Danube threats, as two British Eurofighter Typhoon jets monitored the attack.
- Romanian law allows shooting down drones if lives or property are at risk, and Poland currently utilizes the same defensive system on NATO's eastern flank to counter Russian airspace breaches.
