A Russian reconnaissance drone (Orlan-10) crashed in the Romanian municipality of Dumitra, reported by Militarnyi. The drone fell approximately over 100 kilometers south of the Ukrainian border. The local police started an investigation after a resident of the Bistrița-Năsăud area in the Eastern Carpathians informed authorities about the drone found on the roof of his house. The Orlan-10 model is used for gathering reconnaissance data and target designation. The incident happened in Romania, near Dumitra municipality in Bistrița-Năsăud county, eastern Carpathians.

The incident involves a Russian military reconnaissance drone found inside Romanian territory close to the Ukrainian border; this constitutes hostile hybrid warfare activity involving Russian intelligence gathering near an allied or neighboring NATO country.
