Sept 13 (Reuters) - Elements of a possible drone were identified on NATO-member Romania's territory, the defence ministry said on Wednesday, following Russian drone attacks on Izmail in southern Ukraine, just across the border.
If confirmed, it would be the third time that such fragments have been found on Romanian territory in recent days.
"The crew of an IAR 330 Puma helicopter of the Romanian Air Force ... (identified) fragments that could have come from a drone, dispersed over an area of several dozen metres," the defence ministry said in a statement.
It said that the fragments were seen in the area of the towns of Nufarul and Victoria, in Tulcea county.
Earlier, the defence ministry had said emergency services had received calls about possible cases of drones coming down in the area.
