Wreckage of Russian Shahed drone found in Romania again

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.

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.

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.
