(ANSA-AFP) - BUCHAREST, DEC 14 - Romania will summon Russia's
envoy over a "new violation" of its airspace after the NATO
member's territory was hit by a crashed drone during attacks on
Ukraine, authorities said Thursday. Moscow has repeatedly
attacked Ukraine's ports in the south, including areas bordering
Romania, since exiting a grain deal that aimed to protect grain
exports through the Black Sea this summer. According to the
defence ministry, a crater was found in an uninhabited area
close to the town of Grindu in Tulcea county, which faces the
port of Reni in southern Ukraine across the Danube. The crater
was the "result of (an) uncontrolled crash of a drone used in
the attack on Ukrainian port infrastructure," the statement
said. In response to the "new violation of Romania's airspace,
contrary to international law", the head of Russia's diplomatic
mission will be summoned, the Romanian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs said in a statement. (ANSA-AFP).
