(ANSA-AFP) - BUCHAREST, SEP 30 - NATO member Romania on
Saturday reported a possible violation of its airspace during
overnight drone attacks by Russia on infrastructure in
neighbouring Ukraine. Since exiting a deal allowing safe grain
shipments via the Black Sea, Moscow has ramped up strikes on
Ukraine's southern Odesa and Mykolaiv regions, home to vital
grain-exporting infrastructure. "Following the detection of
groups of drones heading towards Ukrainian territory near the
Romanian border" residents in the Tulcea and Galati
municipalities were alerted, the defence ministry said in a
statement. "The radar surveillance system ... indicated possible
unauthorised entry into national airspace, with a signal
detected on a route towards the municipality of Galati," it
added. The defence ministry said that no objects so far appear
to have fallen on Romanian territory but the search will
continue on Saturday. (ANSA-AFP).
