In Romania, there have been 90 attacks near the border, 47 drones have fallen, with 12 of them in 2026.

Omissions

• The 90 attacks figure could not be verified with available sources. Available data mentions 28 airspace breaches total (Reuters, May 2026) and 40+ incursions in 2026 alone (UN, June 2026), neither matching 90.
• The 12 drones in 2026 figure appears to refer only to drones that fell or left debris, not total airspace incursions, but no source was found that breaks down the 47 fallen drones by year.
• The MEP did not cite a specific source for these figures, making independent verification more difficult.
