On April 25, 2026, a drone with suspected explosives fell in a residential area of Galați, Romania, following renewed Russian drone attacks near the Ukraine-Romania border, prompting evacuations and NATO air policing response.
Early April 25, 2026, Russian forces renewed drone attacks on civilian and infrastructure targets in Ukraine near the Ukrainian-Romanian border in Tulcea County. Romanian radars detected drones close to Romanian airspace, triggering the scramble of two UK Eurofighter Typhoons under NATO Enhanced Air Policing from Fetești Air Base at 02:00. At 02:14, Romanian emergency services issued population warnings in nearby localities using RO-ALERT systems. At 02:31, residents in Galați reported an object falling near Bariera Traian. Romanian defense, internal affairs, and intelligence agencies deployed specialist teams to recover drone fragments suspected of carrying explosives. The area was evacuated temporarily as a safety precaution. The Ministry of Defence condemned these Russian actions as irresponsible provocations against regional and NATO security, violating international law and endangering civilian safety.
