Romania confirms attack by Russian Geran-2 drone on house in Galati
This was announced by Romanian President Nicos Dan.
Dan informed that the experts came to this conclusion based on a set of technical evidence. In particular, the fragments found contained the inscription "GERAN-2" in Cyrillic, and the electronic components, navigation systems, control modules, engine, and structural elements were identical or almost identical to those previously found on other drones of this type.
In addition, the analysis showed a coincidence of production markings, materials used, and fuel.
The fact that such a device hit a residential building in Romania, causing injuries to people and material damage, is of exceptional seriousness, and Russia is solely responsible for this.
He also added that the results of the investigation will be shared with Romania's allies and the competent structures of NATO and the European Union.
