The Russian "attacks" (?) on Romanian territory are escalating as a second Russian drone hit the Romanian settlement of Plauru with Bucharest studying a plan to evacuate it.
And this because, according to several sources, it is not only two Russian drones that fell on Romanian territory.
Residents of Romanian border villages reported that Russian drones striking targets at the port in Izmail have been flying over their homes for over a month and some of them "fall very close".
Romania is now worried that the drones "do not fall by accident" but there is an organized Russian plan. Moscow is "stretching" Article 5.
Supporters of this view believe that the Plauru settlement should not be evacuated and its residents relocated as this would send wrong messages to Moscow.
In a few words, the "red" lines of NATO went for a walk...
President Iohannis said there was a completely unacceptable violation of Romania's sovereign airspace. "I strongly condemn this incident, provoked by Russian attacks on Ukrainian ports on the Danube"
New fragments of a drone, similar to those used by the Russian military, were found on Romanian soil, Romania's defense ministry announced Saturday, while the country's president, Klaus Iohannis, said it indicated an unacceptable violation of its airspace. Romania.
In a statement, the Romanian president said he had informed NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg about the drone wreckage – the second to crash on Romanian soil this week – and that Stoltenberg reiterated the Alliance's full solidarity with Romania.
"The detection by Romanian authorities on Romanian territory, near the border with Ukraine, of new drone fragments... shows an unacceptable violation of the airspace of Romania, a NATO member country, with real risks for the security of Romanian citizens in the area" , commented the Romanian president.
"I categorically condemn this incident caused by the Russian attacks on the Ukrainian Danube river ports."
Attacks on Ukraine's river ports, just hundreds of meters from the Romanian border, have raised security risks for NATO, whose members have a mutual defense commitment.
The country's defense ministry said the Romanian Navy deployed search teams after local authorities alerted them to suspected drone fragments discovered 2.5 km southeast of the village of Plauru.
The military has secured the area and the debris will be analyzed, it said in a statement.
It is recalled that last Wednesday 6/9/2023, the Romanian Minister of Defense admitted that parts of a Russian drone fell on the territory of Romania.
Ukraine had announced on Monday that Russian drones had been shot down in NATO member Romania during an overnight Russian attack on the Ukrainian port of Ismail on the Danube, but Bucharest insisted that its territory had been hit.
