Romania has a "very good" anti-aircraft surveillance system, and the Russian-made drone debris found in Romania is, most likely, the result of the actions of the Ukrainian armed forces, the Chief of the Defence Staff, General Gheorghita Vlad said on Thursday in Constanta."We have a very good surveillance system, I believe.

Search will continue today, to cover the entire area. We make it clear that all the locations identified as possible incidence areas are outside the inhabited areas, with no infrastructure elements being affected," said MApN.
