Romania has officially confirmed the downing of a Russian Shahed in the country during Russia's night attack on Ukraine. This was reported by the press service of the Romanian Ministry of Defense.
During Russia's attack on Ukraine, the Romanian army's radar surveillance system detected a possible violation of airspace. The signal was detected at a low altitude on the route towards the village of Grindu, Tulcea County.
An F-17 fighter jet and a German-owned Eurfighter aircraft were also confirmed to have taken off.
In the morning, in a deserted area about 4 km upstream from Grindu, a 1.5-meter-deep crater was discovered as a result of the crash of a Russian Shahed.
"Measures have been taken to ensure the security of the area and the relevant structures have been notified to collect evidence and conduct investigations in accordance with established procedures," the press service adds.
In particular, the Romanian Ministry of Defense condemned Russia for its attacks on objects and elements of civilian infrastructure in Ukrainian Danube ports, which contradict the norms of international humanitarian law.
