The village sits directly opposite the Ukrainian port of Izmail across the Danube, and had already been the site of drone debris finds in 2023.
An Italian Eurofighter on NATO Baltic Air Policing duty destroyed an unidentified drone over eastern Latvia before dawn on 14 August, the second time the alliance's quick-reaction force has shot one down over the country this year.
