NATO member Romania found new Russian drone fragments on its territory Saturday near the border with war-torn Ukraine.
BUCHAREST, Romania – NATO member Romania found new drone fragments on its territory Saturday near the border with war-torn Ukraine, which the Ministry of National Defense said are “similar to those used by the Russian army.” It was the second such discovery in Romania this week.
Romanian President Klaus Iohannis responded Saturday by saying in a statement that the findings indicate there has been “an absolutely unacceptable violation of the sovereign airspace of Romania, a NATO ally, with real risks to the security of Romanian citizens in the area.” Iohannis added that he had a telephone conversation with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg to inform the Alliance leader of the new finding of the drone pieces. It was unclear if Romanian authorities had determined when or from where the drone was launched.
Stoltenberg wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that there was “no indication of intent” to hit the NATO member nation, but said the findings “are destabilising.” “I welcome the US decision to deploy more F-16s for NATO air policing,” he said. “We stand in solidarity with Romania.” An explosion rocked a popular Romanian tourist seaside resort, the blast at the sea wall sending a plume of water into the air.
