Authorities told residents near the border with Ukraine to take cover amid growing concern that conflict could escalate
Romania reported a possible breach of its airspace during a Russian drone attack on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure early on Saturday.
The Nato member alerted residents in the Tulcea and Galati municipalities to take cover “following the detection of groups of drones heading towards Ukrainian territory near the Romanian border,” the defence ministry said in a statement.
“The radar surveillance system … indicated possible unauthorised entry into national airspace, with a signal detected on a route towards the municipality of Galati,” the statement added.
The defence ministry said that no objects appeared to have fallen in Romanian territory but continued its search.
