The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania has decided to summon the head of the Russian diplomatic mission again after the fragments of the Shahed kamikaze drone were found in the country, according to the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that they are reiterating their protest against another violation of Romania's airspace by Russian drones.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly calls for an end to the repeated attacks on the Ukrainian population and civilian infrastructure and the irresponsible exacerbation of the security situation by the Russian Federation," they added at the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

They also emphasize that they have already informed NATO about the incident with the Shahed fragments and are consulting with Alliance allies.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also urgently summon the head of the Russian mission," they clarify in the statement.

Background

Russian occupiers once again attacked Ukraine with Shahed kamikaze drones last night. Air defense forces managed to shoot down 32 enemy drones out of 44.

The enemy targeted the port infrastructure of the Odesa region on the Danube. After the attack, the Romanian Ministry of Defense announced that they had found drone fragments in the area of the border villages of Nuferu and Victoria.

This is not the first incident with the falling fragments of Russian strike drones on Romanian territory. After the first incident, the head of the Russian diplomatic mission was also summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
