Press Statement

The Ministry of National Defence firmly denies the information circulating in the public space with regard to a so-called situation occurred during the night of 3-4 September, when Russian drones would have fallen on Romania’s national territory.

The MoND responsible structures monitored, in real time, the situation generated by the Russian drone attacks conducted last night, as well as on Saturday night, against the infrastructure from the proximity of the Ukrainian Harbours at the Danube. At no time did the means of attack employed by the Russian Federation pose direct military threats to our national territory or Romania’s territorial waters.

The Ministry of National Defence has taken enhanced vigilance measures in the ground, maritime and air space and contributes to the consolidation of the defence and deterrence posture on the eastern flank, in accordance with the national and Allied plans.

The Ministry of National Defence reiterates the fact that these attacks targeting the Ukrainian sites and civilian infrastructure are unjustified and break all international humanitarian rules.
