European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has offered her solidarity with Romania after a maritime drone exploded in the country’s eastern port of Constanța on Friday morning, a week after a Russian drone crashed into an apartment building in Galați.
This incident is a “direct consequence of Russia’s war against Ukraine”, she said in a post on social media platform X, adding that incidents like this are “increasingly becoming a direct threat to countries on our Eastern border.”
