Alert

Alerts were issued this morning in 16 localities in Tulcea county, in south-eastern Romania, warning of potential objects falling from the sky, especially drone parts, in the context of the war in the neighbouring Ukraine. The alerts are informing the population that Romania is not targeted by the attacks and that people should not panic, but follow the advice of the authorities, call the emergency number 112 and report falling objects if they see them. The authorities began sending such alerts last autumn, when parts of drones used in Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s Danube ports fell in Tulcea county. Romania’s defence structures are keeping a close eye on the situation in the border area.
