Romanian army divers used explosives to destroy two Russian-made drones found floating in the Black Sea near Romania’s largest natural gas project, according to Defense Minister Radu Miruță. The incident occurred on August 11, with Miruță posting a video on Facebook showing one of the drones being detonated by explosive ordnance disposal divers. The drones were initially spotted by a ship working near the Neptun Deep offshore gas project, which is under development and aims to position Romania as the largest gas producer in the European Union. A Romanian Coast Guard ship, accompanied by army personnel, located the two Gerbera-type drones along with other debris. Miruță noted that Romania contacted Ukrainian officials, who confirmed that the drones did not belong to Ukraine.
