A marine drone that is typically used in the Ukraine war has caused a major explosion after hitting the main port of Constanța in NATO state Romania.
Footage showed thick plumes of smoke rising from the unmanned boat in the Black Sea port, near an oil terminal, at around 10:30am local time – some reports claimed it ‘self-detonated’ while others have said it hit anti-pollution barriers in the port.
Ukraine have confirmed that it was one of their naval drones but it had been knocked off course by Russia, who sabotaged its communications and caused it to drift into Romanian waters.
