The Ukrainian government released an explosive report on Monday: During the most recent “massive nightly Russian attacks” near the Danube port of Izmail, Russo-Iranian-built Shahed-type drones “fell into Romanian territory and exploded.”
A spokesman for the border guard, Andriy Demchenko, told AFP news agency Ukraine had “registered two explosions on Romanian territory near the port of Izmail during the night Russian attack”. This is “further confirmation that Russian missile terror poses a huge threat not only to the security of Ukraine, but also to the security of neighboring countries, including NATO member states,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko.
However, the Romanian government vehemently denied this. The situation created by the nightly Russian drone strikes was observed “in real time”. The Ministry of Defense in Bucharest announced on Monday that it “categorically” denied that Russian drones had hit Romanian territory. The Russian attacks on infrastructure on the Danube near the Romanian border “never posed a direct military threat to Romania’s national territory or sovereign waters,” the ministry said.
Risky drone attacks
Since withdrawing from the grain deal with Ukraine, Moscow has intensified its attacks on Ukrainian Black Sea ports and infrastructure along the Ukrainian stretch of the Danube. There have been several hits near Romania. Military analysts and the British Ministry of Defense suspect that ‘precise’ kamikaze drones are being used more and more because of the danger to NATO territory.
