Overview
- Romanian authorities said fragments from a drone tied to a Russian strike on Ukraine fell in Galați, damaging a building and a power pole but causing no injuries.
- A possible explosive charge was found with the debris, which led police to evacuate about 117 people within 200 meters and cut gas to more than 500 users.
- Military radars had tracked multiple low-altitude drones near Romanian airspace before the incident, following blasts reported across the border.
- Two British Eurofighter Typhoons launched from the Fetești base on a NATO air-policing mission to monitor the drones, and officials said the pilots had clearance to fire but did not engage or enter Ukrainian airspace.
- Authorities are removing the remains for neutralization, and the Defence Ministry condemned the episode as irresponsible that endangers regional security and NATO collective security.
