Romanian Defense Minister Angel Tîlvăr confirmed that parts of a Russian drone fell on the territory of Romania.

CNN's Antena 3 TV noted that the parts of the drone were found in the area of Plauru settlement in Tulcea county, after Russia carried out several attacks in recent days on the Ukrainian ports of Izmail and Reni, located near the border with Romania.

Romania's navy said it had deployed a ship and helicopter and sent divers to scout for mines along the coast after a pier in the seaside resort of Costinești was slightly damaged in an explosion on Monday.

A large explosion occurred at the Romanian oil refinery Petromidia in Navodari, Romania - on the coast of the Black Sea. This was reported by the Romanian media digi24.ro.

According to initial data, the explosion was followed by a fire. A video with the consequences of the explosion also appeared on social networks.

Animal rights activists and environmental NGOs on Friday condemned an order allowing hundreds of bears to be killed signed by the former Environment minister of Romania, Tanczos Barna, on the last day of his mandate at the ministry.

The order allows a quota of almost 500 bears to be killed on the grounds that they pose a danger to humans.

With 290 votes "for", 95 "against" and no abstentions, the two chambers of the Romanian Parliament elected the new Romanian government headed by Marcel Ciolacu. Deputies voted first, then senators.

418 people's representatives out of a total of 465 were present in the hall during today's vote of confidence and the debates, marked by scandal and sharp exchange of remarks.

In 2022, 95.3 million people in the European Union were at risk of poverty or social exclusion, i.e. they lived in households with serious financial difficulties. This is according to data from the Eurostat statistical office. They remain almost unchanged from the previous year, when 95.4 million people lived at risk of poverty.

Romanian Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca has resigned.

He announced this himself minutes ago at a press conference at the Council of Ministers on Victoria Square in Bucharest, BTA reported.

"The staff deficit [because of the employment freeze] poses a huge problem. We cannot cover the extra hours," one of the protesters told the G4Media.ro news website.

"Free circulation of the mentioned products is allowed only in the EU member states, with the exception of Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia," it was stated in the decision that entered into force.
We are talking about wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower seeds.

Borivoje Borovi wishes for a Romanian scenario: "Ceaușescu also had 100,000 to 200,000 supporters that day."
He stated for N1 that if the protests last for days, the authorities will feel fear "in their bones".
"And it's not just a change of government, for the first time ruling political structure will surely go to prison," Borovi told N1.
