Drone self-detonates in Romanian port as Black Sea threat widens

A maritime drone of the type used in the war in neighbouring Ukraine self-detonated on Friday in Romania’s Black Sea port of Constanta near an oil terminal, without causing any casualties, officials said.

The explosion was the second major incident in a populated area in just a week as the spillover threat increases from the war in Ukraine, which has been fighting against a Russian invasion since 2022.
