| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | 2026-11-03 | 2026-11-29 | Checked in the one-time pass of 30 Oct 2026: still open. The record (ev-20261027-rvw1) holds a single origin, Euronews relaying the Romanian president and NATO's secretary general; no independent examination of the drone that hit Galati is in the record. Next check on the ladder from 2026-05-29 (7 days, 30 days, then quarterly). |
