NATO has no evidence that the found wreckage, presumably from a drone in Romania, is the result of a deliberate Russian attack. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, speaking to members of the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Subcommittee on Security and Defense.
“We do not have any information indicating a deliberate attack by Russia and we are waiting for the results of the ongoing investigation,” he said (quote according to Reuters).
September 6 Minister of National Defense of Romania Angel Tylvar informed about the discovery of the wreckage, presumably, of a drone near the village of Plauru (Tulcha county), bordering the Ukrainian Izmail in the Odessa region.
Romanian President Klaus Iohannis said that if the Russian origin of the drones is confirmed, then “the situation will be completely unacceptable.” This would mean “a serious violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Romania,” he added, stressing that the country is on alert and in contact with NATO allies.
On the night of September 4, an air alert was announced in the Odessa region. Ukrainian media wrote about explosions in Izmail. Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation later reported about the strike on the shipbuilding enterprise of Ukraine, which assembles unmanned boats. Its location was not specified.
Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko, referring to the Ukrainian border service, claimed that Russian drones allegedly fell and detonated on the territory of Romania, Ukrayinska Pravda reported. In the Ministry of Defense of Romania, this information was previously refuted.
