A drone used in the attacks launched by the Russian Federation against Ukraine entered, on the night of May 28 to 29, the airspace of Romania and crashed on the roof of an apartment building in the southern area of the municipality of Galați, according to the Ministry of National Defense.


"During the night of May 28 to 29, the Russian Federation resumed drone attacks on civilian and infrastructure targets in Ukraine, near the river border with Romania.

A drone entered the airspace of Romania, being tracked by radar until it reached the southern area of the municipality of Galați, and crashed on the roof of an apartment building, the impact being followed by a fire.

Specialized teams from IGSU and other structures from MAI, the Romanian Intelligence Service, and the Romanian Police are operating at the scene.

MApN radars detected drones operating near the airspace of Romania. Two F-16 aircraft in the Air Police combat service took off at 01:19 from the 86th Air Base in Fetești, supported by an IAR 330 SOCAT helicopter of the Romanian Air Forces. The pilots of the aircraft had authorization to engage targets throughout the alert period.

The National Military Command Center (nucleus) informed the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations about the need to establish measures to alert the population. In this context, RO-Alert messages were sent to the counties of Tulcea, Galați, and Brăila.

The situation is dynamic and we will return with information and official data as they become available," specifies MApN.
