On November 25, 2025, Romanian authorities detected a Russian drone entering Romanian airspace, prompting RO-Alert messages for residents in the counties of Galați, Tulcea, Vrancea, and later Bacău. The drone was monitored by Romanian and German fighter jets (Eurofighter Typhoon and F16 Fighting Falcon) but flew at low altitude, making radar detection intermittent. Pilots were authorized to shoot down the drone, but it disappeared from radar, likely exiting Romanian airspace. By 12:19 UTC, the drone had crashed on private property in Puiești, Vaslui county, confirmed by local authorities and the Ministry of Defense (MAPN). Officials speculated the drone lost fuel or guidance. The incident marked one of at least 13 cases of drone airspace violations since the start of the Russian war against Ukraine, with around 40 drone fragments found on Romanian soil. PRACTICAL details include the drone entering from Moldova, simultaneous drone activity over Moldova, multiple alerts and military responses starting from 06:28 UTC, and official statements from MAPN spokesperson Corneliu Pavel and Defense Minister Ionuț Moșteanu. Local police, the Defense Ministry, and SRI Anti-terror Brigade were dispatched to investigate the crash site. RO-Alert messages urged residents to take shelter due to the potential of falling objects in eastern Romania.
