According to a statement from Romania’s defense ministry, radar systems detected groups of drones near the country’s airspace during the night of November 10–11, prompting the preventive activation of air defense systems.
Around one in the morning, authorities reported that a drone had crashed near the Romanian village of Grindu, about five kilometers south of the frontier with Ukraine.
Due to poor weather conditions in the southeast, fighter jets on standby were unable to take off.
Toiu added that Romania, the EU and the U.S. have already imposed sanctions with “important impact” on Russia and are now preparing additional measures to raise the cost of aggression.
