Kremlin's drones over NATO territory? Threat alerts sent out

The Romanian radar observation system recorded a signal at night that could indicate unauthorized penetration of national airspace. The signal was detected near the city of Galati. Residents received warnings about the threat.

The Romanian Ministry of Defense also reported another drone attack on targets in Ukraine. In connection with this, alerts about a possible threat were sent out to residents of border regions of Romania, especially where the Danube flows into the Black Sea. This specifically concerned Tulcea and Galați counties.

In Saturday's statement, it was emphasized that the forces of the Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, police, and border guard were directed to the Gałacz area. It is there that a radar signal was registered, which could indicate a potential violation of airspace.

"So far, no objects that have fallen from the airspace onto the territory of the country have been identified. The search will continue today" - it was reported.

As a result of Russian mass attacks on Ukrainian Danube ports, fragments of shot down drones have recently fallen on the border territory of Romania. In September, Bucharest reported three times about identifying fragments of unmanned aircraft, even though it initially denied such information passed on by Kyiv.

In response to this situation, on the territories along the Ukrainian border in the Danube Delta, authorities have decided to tighten security measures. Additionally, the no-fly zone in Northern Dobruja has been expanded.

Romanian authorities have also begun to use the Ro-Alert communication system for the population. These messages are sent to mobile phones and call for shelter during air raids on Ukrainian ports on the Danube adjacent to Romania.

The President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, emphasized that his country is not the target of Russian attacks. However, fragments of drones falling on Romanian territory "pose a real threat and problem".
