On Saturday morning, a fragment of a drone was found on a beach in the Romanian coastal town of Agigea, according to the outlet Digi24, as reported by "European Pravda". Relevant authorities were notified of the discovery and will launch an investigation. Experts are expected to determine where the fragment came from.

Recurring incidents on the coast

Over the past several months, a number of drone fragments have washed ashore along Romania's Black Sea coast. In most cases, these fragments posed no danger. However, at the end of August, a fragment containing an explosive charge landed on a beach in the town of Olimp. The beach was evacuated at the time, and the fragment was safely detonated on the shore.

Recent airspace tensions

It was also reported that on the night before September 26, Romania scrambled fighter jets in response to an aerial target detected near the country's border. These recurring incidents reflect ongoing tension in the region, linked to the war in neighboring Ukraine, from where drone debris has periodically drifted into Romanian territory.
