<span><span><span><span><span><span> Radu Miruce, Romania's acting defense minister, stated that Russia has changed its drone deployment tactics. In his view, this trend will continue, so it will be necessary to constantly adapt. </span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>This was reported by Digi24. </span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>When asked whether Russia is deliberately attacking Romanian territory, Miruce replied that he could not confirm this. He noted that the drone flew in a straight line and did not make any zigzags. </span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>“I don’t know. All I know is that drones identified as Russian-made are entering Romanian airspace without permission and in violation of international law, given that Romania is not at war,” </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span> he said.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>According to Miruce, 32 such incidents have been recorded since the start of the full-scale war. Some drones carried explosive charges; some penetrated Romanian airspace only a short distance, while others went deeper.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

Earlier, Romania declared one of the staff members of the Russian Embassy in Bucharest persona non grata following a series of violations of the country’s airspace by Russian drones. At the same time, the Russian ambassador was summoned to the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and presented with a note of protest. 

Bucharest noted that the decision was a response to repeated violations of Romanian airspace on July 24–26. During that time, the Romanian military shot down three drones that had illegally entered the country’s territory.
