SEARCH The search
operations of any possible drone debris the Romanian authorities kicked off in the
outskirts of the city of Galati, in south-eastern Romania ended on Saturday.
The operations commenced after a citizen had called the 112 emergency service
to report a strong explosion in the area but the teams have found no debris
fallen from the sky. We recall that last night the locals received a series of Ro-alert
messages about the fall of dangerous objects from the sky and were advised to
take cover. On Friday night the Defence Ministry alerted the Air Policing
Service after having detected a group of drones flying towards the Ukrainian
territory close to the Romanian border and notified the General Inspectorate
for Emergency Situations over instating the alert measures for the population
in the counties of Tulcea and Galati. According to the Defence Ministry on the
night of September 29th the Russian forces launched a new series of strikes
against targets in Ukraine. The same sources say that the army radars detected
a possible breach of the national airspace. No objects fallen from the sky have
been identified yet. The ministry has been informing the allied structures on
situations like these, keeping a permanent contact with them.




ART Almost 100
works of art by Romania’s famous sculptor Constantin Brancusi are on display as
of Saturday in Timisoara, western Romania, in the most important exhibition
dedicated to this major artist in the past half a century. The exhibition
includes sculptures, photos, archive documents and film footages on display at
the local National Art Museum until late January. The exhibits’ total insured
value stays around half a billion euros. Under the suggestive title, Brancusi,
Romanian sources and universal prospects the exhibition invites the public to
explore the way in which Brancusi managed to cross all geographic, historical,
formal and gender borders in order to ensure that special place unattached to
any artistic current. The exhibition has on view a series of artefacts borrowed
from the National Museum of Modern Art, Pompidou Center, in Paris, the Tate
Gallery in London, the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Art Museum in
Bucharest, the Art Museum in Craiova and some private collections. Among the famous
artefacts visitors can admire in Timisoara, there is the Bird in Space, the
Kiss, Mademoiselle Pogany or Sleeping Muse. The aforementioned exhibition is
part of the programme Timisoara – European Capital of Culture.




WEATHER The
weather is incredibly warm for this time of the year especially in the
country’s southern and southeastern regions. In the rest of the territory the
weather is going to get cooler though with temperatures within the average range
registered in early October. The highs of the day in the next 24 hours will stay
between 19 and 30 degrees with a noon reading in Bucharest of 30 degrees
centigrade.
