  "summary": "Romania's Defense Ministry issued an air raid alert on August 2 in Tulcea County, near Ukraine's Odesa Oblast, after detecting an aerial target coming from Ukraine, according to News.ro. The alert was issued via the RO-Alert system to residents of Tulcea county, which lasted approximately 22 minutes before being lifted. The National Military Command Center informed the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations of the need to alert the population. The target was later detected disappearing from radar without entering Romanian airspace. Earlier on July 30, Romania scrambled two F-16 fighter jets after radar detected a group of aerial targets near the Ukrainian border.",
