Earlier, on the night of December 14, when Russia massively attacked the port infrastructure in the south of Ukraine with drones, a Russian drone fell on the territory of Romania.
After that, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania summoned the Russian ambassador in Bucharest Valery Kuzmin after the fall of a Russian drone on the territory of the country.
It will be recalled that in September 2023, fragments of a rocket were found in a lake near the village of Farladan in the Kaushan district of Moldova. Villagers noticed some components in the lake that could have come from a rocket that may have landed in the area. Authorities confirmed that the debris came from an air-to-air missile.
