Parts of what could be a Russian drone fell on Romanian territory, Romania's Defence Minister Angel Tilvar said on Wednesday, two days after Ukraine said Russian drones had detonated on the NATO member's land.
"I confirm that pieces which might be the elements of a drone were found," Tilvar told Antenna 3 CNN broadcaster.
Kyiv had said on Monday that drones detonated in Romania during an overnight Russian air strike on a Ukrainian port across the Danube River.all earlier denied reports of the drones detonating on Romanian territory and said Russian attacks did not cause a direct threat to Romanian territory.He told Agerpres it was possible the drone did not explode upon impact but rather it simply fell or pieces landed on Romanian territory.
A ministry spokesperson said search teams had been in the area for several days while the minister and other defense officials talked to residents. Since July, when Moscow abandoned a deal that lifted a de facto Russian blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea ports, it has repeatedly struck Ukrainian river ports that lie across the Danube from Romania.
