airspace incident: Sfântu Gheorghe to Sulina, Tulcea County (2026-02-25)
/ date of the event
What happened
A Russian drone entered Romanian airspace shortly before 18:00 over Sfântu Gheorghe, tens of kilometres from the border, and left about 20 minutes later over Sulina, continuing over the Romanian Exclusive Economic Zone. Tulcea County residents received RO-Alert warnings about possible falling objects. The incident came two weeks after Russian drone fragments drifted ashore near Mamaia, Constanța County.
The word "Russian" in this description comes from the source's account of where the object was made or what type it is. It is not a finding about who sent it or on whose orders. This record carries no assessment of responsibility: see the attribution band below.
