The Prime Minister of Romania, Marcel Ciolacu, could not say whether the drone that fell near the border with Ukraine was of Russian origin, informs Libertatea.

"Let's wait for the investigation. If we look at the crater, there was no explosion, so it couldn't have caused damage, even if it had fallen in another area," he said, responding to journalists' questions about whether the ongoing checks indicate the origin of the drone.

At the same time, the Prime Minister added that there are currently no casualties "and there are no such problems."

"We hope to have, I repeat, as few of these incidents as possible, or to avoid them altogether, as much as possible," Ciolacu said.

UAV in Romania

On March 29, fragments of a drone were found on a Romanian farm near the border with Ukraine. Several military search teams were dispatched to the Great Brăila Island for investigation.

Currently, the Romanian Ministry of Defense and law enforcement agencies are investigating the drone crash.

Later, Romanian media published photos of the crashed drone, which contained Cyrillic inscriptions. It was noted that a four-meter crater formed during the drone's fall.
