Details: The Romanian Ministry of Defence stated that during another Russian attack on Ukrainian ports on the Danube late on 29 September, an air-raid warning was issued for residents of the Romanian județs [administrative units] of Tulcea and Galati, located near the Ukrainian cities of Izmail and Reni.
Quote: “The Romanian army’s radar surveillance systems identified a possible unauthorised entry into the country’s airspace; the signal was detected on the way to the city of Galati.”
