Residents in northern Tulcea County received another warning at about 6:55 a.m. Monday: drones or fragments of drones could fall in the area. The message came against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine.

The RO-Alert notification told people to remain calm and seek safe shelter for the next 90 minutes. Those without access to a shelter were instructed to stay inside their homes, away from windows and exterior walls.
