Romania's Defense Ministry said a crater caused by the possible explosion of a drone was found early on October 12 near the NATO member's Danube border with Ukraine. "Around 5 a.m. (local time) teams sent to investigate reported the discovery of a drone crater [caused by a] possible explosion on impact, in an area covered with vegetation near the right bank of the Chilia branch [of the Danube] some 3 kilometers west of the village of Plauru," the ministry said in a statement. Plauru is located across from the Ukrainian Danube port of Izmayil, which was subjected to a Russian drone attack overnight on October 11-12.
