The President of Romania linked the drone incidents to Russia’s war against Ukraine
Romanian President Nicușor Dan stated that incidents involving drones and other similar occurrences within the country are a direct consequence of the full-scale war that Russia is waging against Ukraine. He made these remarks in response to the explosion of an unmanned boat in the port of Constanța and the recent crash of a Russian drone onto a residential building in Galați. According to the head of state, events of this nature demonstrate that the consequences of the war extend beyond Ukraine’s borders and affect the security situation in the region.
"Given the military conflict on the border, it is clear that the security situation we are in is sensitive, so we will maintain a high level of vigilance. Such particularly serious situations are direct consequences of the aggressive war launched by Russia against Ukraine," he wrote on social media.
Dan noted that the circumstances under which the UAV entered the port and possible additional risks are currently being analyzed, and the authorities directly responsible will report on the progress of the investigation.
As a reminder, an unmanned boat exploded in the port of Constanta (Romania) on Friday; there were no casualties.
