Marine drone self-detonates near oil terminal in Romanian Black Sea port of Constanta.
A marine drone of the type used in the war in Ukraine self-detonated on Friday in Romania's Black Sea port of Constanta near an oil terminal, without causing casualties. Romanian authorities evacuated the port and warned residents along the coast to take cover as a preventative measure. Romania's defense ministry stated the drone was similar to those used in the neighboring Ukraine war.
