This was reported by the Romanian Ministry of Defence.

The military was inspecting the area in search of possible fragments of the UAV that could have fallen over Romania's border in recent weeks as a result of Russian attacks on Ukrainian ports on the Danube.

In particular, on Tuesday, September 24, they inspected the area around the village of Plauru in Tulcea County, where they found the wreckage of a Shahed, which was then sent for further examination.

‘The on-site examinations revealed that the fragments in question came from a Russian Geranium-2 drone,’ the Romanian Defence Ministry added.

The ministry also condemned Russian attacks on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure, which violates international law.

Russian drones on the territory of NATO countries

On March 24, during Russia's morning attack on Ukraine, a Russian cruise missile flew into Poland, prompting the country to raise its own and allied aircraft.

On July 31, Romanian intelligence services and experts from the Romanian Ministry of National Defence discovered new fragments of a Russian drone near the border with Ukraine.

On the night of September 8, during a Russian drone attack on Ukraine, at least one drone flew into Romania. The country raised its aircraft and warned residents along the border of possible falling debris. 

The Latvian Armed Forces stated that a Shahed UAV carrying explosives had crashed in the country on September 7.

On September 18, Romanian Defence Minister Angel Tilvar said that NATO should use a ‘robust and coordinated’ response to incidents where Russian drones fired from Ukraine violated the Alliance's airspace.
