Press Information
On Friday, March 13, the MoND radar systems detected, around 10:00 am, aerial targets north of Tulcea County (Chilia Veche-Vâlcove area).
Air defence systems were put on alert, and two F-16 aircraft from the 86th Borcea Air Base were scrambled to recon and monitor the airspace.
At 10:05, a RO-ALERT message was issued to the population in the targeted area.
Based on the data available to date, it is possible that drone debris may have also fallen on the Romanian territory, in the Chilia Veche area. Specialized teams are ready to intervene in the field to initiate a search operation.
We will provide further details on this topic later.
