Four drones out of control

President Nicușor Dan wrote, on Friday, in a post on the X social network, that the Ukrainian army lost control of four drones, among them the one that exploded in Constanța Port. All four drones self-detonated, so there are no longer any risks to Romanian citizens.

“The marine drone that exploded this morning in the Port of Constanța was part, along with other similar means of combat, of a military operation led by Ukraine against Russian aggression. The Ukrainian forces lost control over those means as a result of the electronic warfare actions undertaken by Russia,” the head of state said.

An explosion of a marine drone took place on Friday morning, at 10:28, in berth 78 in the Port of Constanța. MApN transmitted, in the first clarifications about the incident, that the drone self-detonated, that it is not part of the equipment of the Romanian Army, but is “of the type used in the war in Ukraine”.
