An unidentified object, possibly a drone, fell in Romania

An unidentified object that may have been an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has crashed in Romania and caused a fire. There were no injuries or damage, the country's Ministry of National Defense reports on its official website.

“At around 5:00 am, an object, believed to be an unmanned aerial vehicle, was reported to have fallen in the Plauru area, Tulsea district, followed by a fire. There were no casualties or material damage,” the statement said.

A crew from the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations and units of the Romanian Armed Forces were sent to the site to extinguish the fire. The crash area was secured, after which specialized teams from the Ministry of Defense began examining the scene.

It is clarified that radar systems did not detect any unauthorized intrusion into the country’s airspace over the past night. “The situation is constantly changing, and we will provide additional information as it becomes available,” the department said.

The village of Plauru is located in the east of Romania, directly on the banks of the Danube, opposite the Ukrainian city of Izmail.
