The apparent drone fell in Romania Sunday during Russia’s attack on Ukraine.
Romanian Defense Minister Angel Tilvar told local news channel Antena 3 CNN that fragments of an apparent drone were discovered in the eastern Tulcea county on the shores of the Danube River, which separates Romania from neighboring Ukraine.The minister added that the area had not been evacuated because there was nothing to suggest that the suspected drone parts posed a threat and said the pieces would be analyzed to determine their origin.
Romanian leaders’ public about-face comes after the country’s Ministry of National Defense “categorically denied” claims made Monday by the spokesperson of Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who said that kamikaze drones launched by Russia as part of an attack Sunday night on the port of Izmail on the Danube fell and exploded on Romanian soil.
Romania swiftly clapped back at the Ukrainian official’s claim about what it called “a so-called overnight situation.” Its statement said in part that “at no time did Russia’s means of attack generate direct military threats on Romanian national territory or waters.” “[That] does not make us happ… but I don’t think that we can talk about an attack and, as I said before, I think we need to know how to distinguish between an act of aggression and an incident,” the official was quoted as saying.
