A Russian drone came down on Romanian territory during the strike wave of the night of 3-4 September. The claim was initially denied, but on 5 September drone fragments were identified near the village of Plauru on the Ukrainian border, and further fragments were found on 9 September. The sequence — denial, then recovery of debris days later — recurs throughout the early Romanian record, where the Danube Delta is sparsely populated enough that wreckage is often found by chance rather than located from radar tracks.
