Rogue drones, again.
Just one day ago, we were told that Russia had sent a quad drone with an explosive charge that was laying on the ground in the German Leipzig airport besides a plane.
Today, during the back-and-forth attacks with Russia, an attack drone by the Kiev regime has crossed from Romania and exploded near an oil pipeline.
Bulgaria’s prime minister Rumen Radev said both Bulgarian and Romanian authorities had failed to pick up the drone as it made its way through their respective airspace.

Euronews reported:
“Ukraine insisted on Saturday it had not targeted Bulgaria after a drone of a type used by Kyiv’s army crashed in the country, promising to explain the circumstances of the incident.
The drone entered Bulgarian airspace from Romania before exploding 1,000 meters from a compressor station of the Trans-Balkan gas pipeline, near the former Kardam border checkpoint between the two countries.”

Romanian forces shot down three drones in its airspace over the course of just three days in late July, at least one of those drones has been determined to be of the Shahed-type used by Russian forces.
Romania has seen a surge in drone-related incidents and incursions into its airspace in recent months.
