/ date found, not date of flight
On the morning of 4 October 2024 the Border Police informed the defence ministry of drone fragments found in the Litcov canal area of the Danube delta, about a kilometre from its junction with the Sfântu Gheorghe arm. A team of specialists from MApN, SRI and the interior ministry searched the site and collected the fragments, which the ministry described as coming from a drone of Russian origin, pending expert examination. The site lies outside any built-up area; no infrastructure was affected. The day of the find is recorded; the flight date and the operator have not been established.
unresolved
The case was looked at and not settled, or the findings are disputed or have been rejected.
Ministerul Apărării Naționale (MApN) / 2024-10-04 / origin of the equipment
The defence ministry described the collected fragments as coming from a drone of Russian origin, ahead of expert examination. That is an assessment of where the equipment came from, not a finding about the operator or who tasked it.
No casualties reported.
Malcontent pins the find near Nufăru (45.12, 29.11) as an "estimated location". MApN gives the Litcov canal, about 1 km from its junction with the Sfântu Gheorghe arm; the point on the record represents that description and was not read from a source.
