Efforts to stabilize water levels on the Danube River for the Cernavodă nuclear power plant have shown initial success, with water levels rising by 8 centimeters. This intervention ensures that Unit 2 of the plant can continue operating normally for at least another nine days, alleviating immediate concerns about energy supply.
However, domestic concerns persist as an ambulance crew in Cluj was attacked, an incident reportedly fueled by viral fake news spread on social media. Secretary of State Raed Arafat, Head of the Department for Emergency Situations, condemned the attack and warned about the dangers of misinformation, including the use of AI to generate false images. Meanwhile, a new African air current is making its way back, with temperatures expected to peak on Tuesday.
In other news, the Bulgarian Prime Minister reported a drone entering from Romania and exploding inside Bulgarian territory, though without indication of a deliberate incident. On a positive note, Romania's U19 rowing team achieved first place in the World Championship final, securing six medals, including three golds.
