Romanian Ministry of Defence Reacts to Russian Drone Flying over Romanian Territory

Russian forces resumed the series of drone attacks on civilian targets and port infrastructure in Ukraine on the morning of September 8, near the border with Romania.

Two F-16 aircraft of the Romanian Air Force took off from the 86th Borcea Air Base at 2:25 a.m. to monitor the air situation.

During these events, the radar surveillance system identified and tracked the path of a drone that moved into the national airspace and left the national territory towards Ukraine. The two F-16 aircraft also monitored the drone’s evolution and returned to the base around 4:08 a.m.

The National Military Command Center (nucleus) notified the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations regarding establishing measures to alert the population in Tulcea and Constanța counties. RO-Alert messages were sent at 2:20 a.m. and 2:38 a.m., respectively.

The available data indicated the probability of an impact zone on the national territory in an uninhabited area near the town of Periprava. The Ministry of National Defense forces are conducting investigations in the area, starting this morning, with aerial means and ground teams.

The Ministry of National Defense sends a firm message of condemnation of these attacks carried out by the Russian Federation against some objectives and elements of Ukrainian civil infrastructure, which are unjustified and in serious contradiction with the norms of international law.
