The Romanian forces did not shoot at the Russian drones in the border area with Ukraine (MApN)

The Romanian forces did not shoot at the Russian drones in the border area with Ukraine, the Ministry of National Defense claims in a post on Facebook. This is disinformation, say the MApN representatives, who specify that Russia attacked the Ukrainian port infrastructure on the Danube, and not targets on Romanian territory, as was falsely affirmed on several social networks. After the Russian attacks from the night of Tuesday to Wednesday on the civil and port infrastructure in Ukraine, the remains of a drone of Russian origin were discovered near the border with Romania, near the town of Plauru, in Tulcea county. Research continues, and MApN informs that in the last 24 hours, indications have been received regarding two possible new areas where fragments of a drone fell, located on the Romanian bank of the Danube, in the vicinity of the town of Periprava.
