  • A marine drone self-detonated around 10:30 AM local time at the civilian section of Constanta’s Black Sea port without causing casualties.

  • Romanian intelligence and security forces secured the area following the drone’s discovery earlier that morning before the explosion occurred.

  • Ukraine claimed the drone was theirs and lost control due to Russian electronic warfare interference near the coast.

  • Russia denied involvement and blamed Ukraine, while Romanian officials ruled out any connection to their military exercises.
  • This concerns unmanned Ukrainian watercraft. Any attempt to link these drones directly or indirectly to Russia and to attribute responsibility for the incident to Russia is completely unfounded.
