In this image released by the Romanian Defense Ministry, Defense Minister Angel Tilvar, left, speaks to a local resident in a Danube Delta village close to the Ukrainian border, Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2023. Romania's defense minister said Wednesday that pieces apparently of a drone from Russia's recent attacks on Ukraine's port on the Danube River have been found on the territory of his country. Romania is a NATO member.
Daniela Tanase, 46, who lives in Plauru with her husband and son, told The Associated Press that the drone strikes on Izmail this week have woken her up, and that villagers “are scared" of the persistent Russian attacks. Romanian President Klaus Iohannis demanded an “urgent investigation." If the debris were confirmed to have been from a Russian drone it would be an “inadmissable” violation of Romania's sovereignty and territorial integrity, Iohannis said at the Three Seas Initiative summit in Bucharest this week.
Speaking at the EU parliament on Thursday, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that the 31-nation alliance has been informed by Romania about the finding of drone pieces and that the episode “demonstrates the risks of incidents and accidents.”
