Romania condemns Russia drone fragments as Galați bears damage in overnight attack
Romania condemns the overnight Russian drone attack as Galați reports damage and the country plans an AI-powered counter-drone upgrade for its defenses.
Romania's Defence Ministry condemned the overnight Russian attack on Ukraine after drone fragments damaged property in Galați, saying the incident marks a new challenge to regional security and stability in the Black Sea area.
In Galați, fragments were recovered after the strike, including damage to an electricity pole and a household annex, with the ministry reporting no casualties.
The ministry described the actions as irresponsible and said they threaten regional security and stability.
Defence Minister Radu Miruta said a US-made, AI-powered counter-drone system would be integrated into Romania's air-defence networks within days after final tests.
The wider pattern of attacks on Ukraine has involved nightly drones, ranging from small barrages to heavier assaults that target infrastructure.
The statements underscore Romania's intent to bolster its defence posture and the Black Sea security outlook amid ongoing tensions.
