An investigation will be carried out after samples are collected and examined by experts, it said.
While it’s unclear whether Romania has determined where or when the drones were launched, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis said ofIohannis said it indicated 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.”
“Some remains jumped from a drone that was hit by the Ukrainian army. It didn’t have explosives, it didn’t have anything that could harm the citizens,” he said.
