Large-scale Russian air attack on Ukraine hits infrastructure and Romanian territory

Russia launched a massive overnight air assault on Ukraine, deploying 619 drones and 47 missiles, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. Ukrainian air defenses reported intercepting 580 drones and 30 missiles, though strikes were still reported in multiple regions, with the city of Dnipro being a primary target. The attacks resulted in four fatalities across Ukraine. Simultaneously, the Romanian Ministry of Defense confirmed that debris from a Russian drone fell in the southeastern city of Galati. The impact damaged an electricity pylon and an annex of a residential building, marking the first time such property damage has occurred on Romanian soil during the conflict. No casualties were reported in Romania, but the government strongly condemned the action as a provocation to regional security and NATO stability. In response, British Eurofighter Typhoon jets conducting air policing in Romania were scrambled to monitor the situation, while residents in the Tulcea county were advised to seek shelter.
