Romanian Mayor Says His Village Now 'Part Of The War' Amid Russian Drone Incursions

German and Romanian fighter jets scrambled on November 25 to track the latest in a series of drone incursions into Romania's airspace as Russia continues to attack targets just across the Danube River in neighboring Ukraine. Two drones entered the NATO-member's airspace and six were reported in Moldova, where one fell on the roof of a building but did not explode. This follows an incident last week when a Russian drone hit a Turkish LPG tanker moored on the Ukrainian side of the river.

Are there lessons for the U.S. in this European country's struggle with measles?

The country ranked fifth on the measles outbreak list last year, reporting 30,692 cases and 23 deaths. According to Dr. Aurora Stanescu, an epidemiologist at the National Institute for Public Health in Romania, five of those deaths were children under age 1. Schwalbe calls those figures a "wake-up call." "That's a lot of cases of measles, and that's a lot of deaths from a disease that really shouldn't be killing anybody at this point," Schwalbe says.
