Drone incidents in Romania
This is not the first such case in recent times. Just yesterday, on April 25, during a massive Russian attack on Ukraine, drone debris fell in Romania, damaging a residential building and a power line.
Earlier, on April 17, a Russian drone also entered the country's airspace during a nighttime strike on Ukrainian cities.
Amid repeated provocations, Romania is urgently strengthening border defenses. In particular, the country recently tested a new AI-powered drone interception system called Merops, which is expected to help protect its airspace from Shahed drones.
