An unidentified kamikaze drone was found on a beach in Türkiye. It reportedly resembles a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle, according to the Turkish outlet Milliyet.
The drone was found on Uzunkum Beach in the city of Şile on Wednesday, June 11, at around 12:30 PM.
According to the report, beachgoers noticed an object resembling a kamikaze drone on the shoreline. The Coast Guard command arrived at the scene shortly after citizens reported the discovery.
"It was noted that the object, whose origin remains unknown, resembles Ukrainian-made kamikaze drones, and the device on its underside appears to be an explosive," the Turkish outlet reported.
The drone was handed over to Turkish Navy explosive ordnance disposal experts for examination.
Ukraine’s neighboring countries have also felt the effects of Russian aggression. During drone attacks, Russian UAVs have occasionally crossed into Romanian and Moldovan airspace.
For example, on December 25, Russia launched more than 70 missiles and over 100 drones at Ukraine. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that one of the Russian missiles crossed into Moldova’s airspace during the assault.
In Romania, drone debris has been discovered multiple times. As a result, the country has decided to intercept and shoot down unmanned aerial vehicles that illegally enter its airspace.
