The Ministry of National Defense (MApN) informs that four combat aircraft were lifted from the ground, on the night of Thursday to Friday, to monitor the situation on the border with Ukraine, where Russian forces attacked with port infrastructure UAVs.According to MApN, two F-16 aircraft of the Romanian Air Force took off from Borcea Air Base 86 starting at 1:52 a.m. and, later, starting at 3:22 a.m., two more F-18 aircraft of the Spanish Air Force from the service of the Extended Air Police took off from Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base 57. All four fighter aircraft touched down the airbase around 4:00.During this time interval, Romania's radar surveillance system indicated the possibility that one of the UAVs involved in the attack on Ukrainian targets may have crossed the national airspace, around 3:00 a.m., for a very short period of less than three minutes, in the border area with Ukraine.From the data available at this moment, the existence of an impact zone on the national territory has not been reported. The forces of the Ministry of National Defense carry out, starting from Friday morning, searches in the area with aerial means and with ground teams. In this context, the National Military Command Center (nucleus) notified the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations regarding the establishment of measures to alert the population of far eastern Tulcea County, being sent, at 02:01, RO-ALERT messages.The drone attacks took place on some civilian targets and port infrastructure in Ukraine, in the vicinity of the river border with Romania, on the Chilia branch of the Danube.MApN recalls that it informed and informs the allied structures in real time about the situations generated by the attacks, remaining in permanent contact with them.The Ministry of National Defense sends a firm message of condemnation of these attacks carried out by the Russian Federation against some objectives and elements of Ukrainian civil infrastructure, which are unjustified and in serious contradiction with the norms of international law.
