The Romanian military, which was sent to inspect the Romanian bank of the Danube after the Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian ports of Odesa, found wreckage and fragments of drones there near the village of Plauru, opposite the city of Izmail.
Digi24 writes about this.
Presumably, itʼs about Shahed kamikaze drones. The publication published a photo collage of the wreckage of the Shahed with the inscriptions in Russian on the wings "Do not touch", but did not specify whether these are the wreckage of the same drones that were found by the military. Also, the publication does not indicate when exactly the wreckage was found.

The Ministry of Defense of Romania reports that the military and specialists are investigating three places in the vicinity of Plauru, in one of which the wreckage of Geran drones fell — this is how the Russians sign the Shahed hulls. But the department writes that the wreckage was found yesterday — July 24.
During the attack of Russian drones on Odesa on the night of July 25, two Finnish F-18 fighters took to the sky from the Romanian 57th air base "Mihail Kogelnychanu". They monitored the air situation from 01:32 to 03:25 Kyiv time. In Tulcha County, a Ro-Alert signal sounded at night.
Romanian Foreign Minister Luminita Odobescu wrote in X that Bucharest has informed its allies about the incident and is coordinating its actions with them.
- On the night of July 24, Russia massively attacked Ukraine with Shahed drones. At that time, Ukrainian air defense shot down 17 drones out of 23, most were eliminated in the Odesa region. Some of the drones targeted the port infrastructure of the city of Izmail. A five-story residential building was also hit. Three people are in the hospital.
- On the morning of July 24, the Romanian media wrote about the fall of a drone near the village of Plauru.
- On the night of July 25, the Russian Federation again attacked the south of Odesa region and the center of Ukraine with Shahed drones. The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported the downing of 25 out of 38 Shahed and noted that three drones crossed the state border with Romania.
- The drones used by the Russians to attack Odesa have repeatedly flown into the territory of Romania. For example, in March, the Ministry of Defense of Romania reported on the discovery of fragments, probably of an unmanned aerial vehicle, on agricultural land in the county of Breil.
- A similar incident occurred in December 2023, when the drone fell near the Romanian village of Grindu, which is located approximately 8 kilometers from the Ukrainian port of Reni.
