BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Authorities in Romania found a crater on their territory near the border with Ukraine that they say was likely caused by a crashed drone that exploded on impact. Thursday’s predawn discovery has revived concerns about possible spillover of Russia’s war in Ukraine onto a NATO member country. The crater was found three kilometers west of the village of Plauru across the Danube River from the Ukrainian port of Izmail after Romania’s Defense Ministry said it detected a series of drones heading toward Ukrainian river ports. Meanwhile, an official says three people were killed in Russia’s Belgorod region on the border with Ukraine overnight after drone debris fell on a private house, while Ukraine’s air force says it shot down 28 of 33 incoming drones.
