Drone fragments were recently discovered in Romania, near its border with Ukraine, close to the village of Periprava in Tulcea County.

Romanian defense specialists are currently investigating the site and collecting evidence for further examination, according to The Kyiv Independent.

Romania, a NATO member, has kept its allies informed about the discovery and condemned Russia's ongoing attacks on Ukraine as clear violations of international law.

This incident follows a recent wave of Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukraine, during which Ukrainian forces shot down several air targets.

It's not the first time drone debris has been found in Romania, with NATO previously condemning such incidents as reckless and hazardous.

Russian forces have repeatedly targeted Ukrainian port infrastructure along the Danube River, which serves as a natural border between Ukraine and Romania.

In response, Romania has implemented measures to safeguard its citizens living near the border, including building air raid shelters and deploying drone defense systems.
