New RO-ALERT message in Tulcea County amid war in Ukraine
The population of the northern area of Tulcea County was alerted again, during the night from Wednesday to Thursday, by the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (IGSU), amid the war in Ukraine.
In the RO-ALERT message sent around 4:00 AM, the population was informed about the possibility of objects falling from the airspace and was urged to seek shelter. According to the message, the alert lasted 90 minutes.
