Several drones were detected near the Romanian border during a Russian attack on Ukrainian ports, and two F-16s supported by an IAR 330 SOCAT helicopter were launched. One Shahed-type drone entered Romanian airspace and struck an apartment building in Galați, wounding two people; around 70 residents were evacuated, five cars were damaged and a fire was quickly put out. Foreign minister Oana Țoiu summoned the Russian ambassador, calling it "a grave and reckless escalation". President Nicușor Dan then declared the Russian consul-general in Constanța persona non grata and ordered the consulate closed. Vladimir Putin suggested the drone might have been Ukrainian; a Romanian technical investigation, SHAPE and the defence ministry all identified it as a Russian Geran-2.
