Romanian troops in Plaura, a town on the opposite bank of the Danube from the Ukrainian port of Izmail, found fragments of a drone “similar to those used by the Russian army.”
Source. This was reported by the Romanian Ministry of Defense, AFP reports.
The wreckage of Russian drones had already been found in this area before, and the army joined the search.
Romanian President Klaus Ioannis has already discussed the discovery with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
“I have strongly condemned this violation of our sovereign airspace, which endangers Romanian citizens in the area,” the Romanian president tweeted.
Stoltenberg also commented on this conversation. According to him, “there is no evidence that there was an intention to strike NATO, but these strikes are destabilizing.”
“I welcome the U.S. decision to deploy more F-16s to NATO air policing. We stand in solidarity with Romania,” Stoltenberg added.
In recent weeks, Russia has repeatedly shelled Ukraine’s Danube ports of Izmail and Reni.
