President Klaus Iohannis condemned the incident as an "absolutely unacceptable violation of Romania's sovereign airspace" and said he had spoken with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to inform him of the findings.

Stoltenberg said there was no indication of an intentional attack on NATO, but that the incident was "destabilising." He welcomed the decision by the United States to send more F-16s to Romania as part of the NATO air policing mission.

Iohannis said that the discovery of the drone fragments "poses a real risk to the security of Romanian citizens in the area." He reiterated his condemnation of Russia's attacks against Ukraine, which he said are "war crimes."

The Romanian Ministry of National Defense said that the fragments will be analysed by experts to determine their origin and purpose.

Obstruction of free movement on the bridge over the Nistru from Gura Bâcului – Bâcioc, to the attention of the Joint Control Commission

A consensus was not reached on signing the weekly report on the situation in the Security Zone, at the meeting of the Joint Control Commission, held on Thursday, November 28 in Bender. The refusal of the Transnistrian delegation to include in the document information about Tiraspol’s actions aimed at fortifying the illegal post in the town of Bâcioc, in the immediate vicinity of the bridge over the Nistru, led to the blocking of the process.
