US EditionRomania Says Drone Fragments Damage Property During Overnight Russian Attack on Ukraine
Officials said debris damaged an electricity pole and a household annex, and evacuations followed because the fragments could contain an explosive charge.
- On Saturday, Romania recovered drone fragments in the southeastern city of Galati following an overnight Russian attack on Ukraine, with an electricity pole and household annex damaged.
- Tensions have mounted along Europe's eastern flank as Romania, a NATO and European Union member, shares a 650-km border with Ukraine and has seen Russian drones repeatedly breach its airspace during attacks on Danube River ports.
- Two British Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets were scrambled to monitor the attack, and officials confirmed there were no casualties; the emergency response agency is evacuating the recovery site due to potential explosives in fragments.
- The defence ministry condemned the "irresponsible actions of the Russian Federation," stating such incidents "endanger not only the safety of Romanian citizens, but also the collective security of NATO."
- Defence Minister Radu Miruta said on Friday that Romania will integrate a U.S.-made, AI-powered counter-drone system developed by Project Eagle within days to counter threats along the Danube, mirroring systems already deployed in Poland.
