Debris from what is believed to be a Russian drone landed in a rural area of Romania, the country’s Defense Ministry said on Thursday, in the latest apparent incident of drone wreckage from the war in neighboring Ukraine falling onto the NATO member’s soil.
Since the war started in February 2022, Romania has confirmed drone fragments on its territory on several occasions. The debris of what the Defense Ministry called a “Russia origin” drone were found following Russian attacks on Ukraine’s port infrastructure near the border. The fragments were discovered by a team of specialists in an uninhabited area near the village of Plauru in Tulcea county.
