But the Romanian foreign ministry rejects Kyiv's version of events, saying it didn't happen.

@Ph0mX I think I'm gonna make a separate post (likely tomorrow) debunking this (if there is anything to debunk) - and gather more information about this in the process from the point of a Romanian. But there was a post on Casa Jurnalistului's Telegram channel saying that the drone fell in an area where the Danube makes a weird U-turn, creating the illusion that it hit the Romanian land. That, and the fact that no one posted any image on Facebook or other social media where Romanians are more present makes me think the statement of our Ministry of Defence is valid.

More info will certainly come though, of course.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Ukraine has alleged that Russian drones landed on Romanian territory during a series of strikes on a neighbouring Ukrainian city.

Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told reporters after a news conference in Kyiv that Ukraine had photographic evidence supporting its claim.

Mr Putin said the deal, which Moscow abandoned in July, would not be reinstated until the West met his demands for sanctions to be lifted on Russian agricultural produce.

Since the latest attack, something of a war of words has followed between Ukraine - which insists that one or more drones landed across the river, inside Romania - and the government in Bucharest, which says it didn't happen.

If a Russian drone did land on Romanian territory, without it being the result of an interception, then this would mark the first time Russia has directly, if accidentally, hit a Nato member state.

The image was published to social media on Monday morning by Oleg Nikolenko, a spokesperson for Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
