/ date of the event
What happened
A Russian drone struck the Turkish LPG tanker Orinda anchored in the Danube port of Izmail, setting the ship on fire. Although no violation of Romanian airspace was recorded, two Romanian villages on the southern bank of the river, including Plauru, were evacuated because of the risk of an explosion.
