Another drone entered Romanian airspace on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, March 25-26, near the northern part of Tulcea County, before crashing in an uninhabited area, authorities said. The incident occurred during a new wave of Russian drone attacks targeting civilian and infrastructure sites in Ukraine, close to Romania\u2019s river border.<\/p>\n
According to the Ministry of Defense, two F-16 aircraft took off from the 86th Air Base in Borcea at 00:16 to monitor the air situation. Shortly after, authorities issued a RO-ALERT warning to residents in northern Tulcea County.<\/p>\n
At 00:44, a drone that had been deflected by Ukrainian air defenses crossed approximately four kilometers into Romanian airspace. It later crashed about two kilometers from the village of Parche\u0219, outside populated areas.<\/p>\n
Emergency response teams and military personnel were dispatched to the site, where they found burned vegetation and drone fragments. No material damage or casualties were reported, the ministry also said.<\/p>\n
The area has been secured, with specialized teams from the Ministry of Defense and the Romanian Intelligence Service set to carry out further investigations.<\/p>\n\n
