Russian forces have resumed a series of drone attacks on civilian targets and port infrastructure in Ukraine on Friday morning, near the border with Romania, in Tulcea County, as specialist teams discovered, outside the town of Plauru - between Ceatalchioi and Tudor Vladimirescu - traces of a possible drone impact.
According to a Romanian Defence Ministry (MApN) press release, the area was secured, and teams made up of specialists from the MApN, the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI) and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will collect evidence and carry out investigations.
MApN says that its monitoring and surveillance systems had signaled violations of the Romanian airspace and, as a result of this situation, two F-16 aircraft of the Romanian Air Force, in the Air Police Combat Service, took off from the 86th Air Base in Borcea to monitor the air situation. The aircraft returned to the base around 03:48hrs
At the same time, the National Military Command Center notified the General Emergency Management Inspectorate over the establishment of measures to alert the population in Tulcea County. As a result, a RO-Alert message was sent, and at 03:30hrs the cessation of the alert was declared in all the areas concerned.
MApN forces will continue the airspace monitoring and research missions in the areas where risks may arise as a result of such situations. Also MApPN adds that it has informed and informs in real time the NATO structures about the situations generated by the attacks, staying n permanent contact with them.
MApN is also sending a strong message of condemnation of these attacks carried out by the Russian Federation against Ukrainian civilian facilities and infrastructure, which are unjustified and in serious contradiction with the norms of international law.
