A marine drone exploded at the port of Constanța in Romania, according to the country's defense ministry. The incident occurred at Romania's main Black Sea port facility.

The Romanian defense ministry reported that the marine drone self-detonated at the port. The explosion prompted evacuation procedures at the facility, though specific details about the scope of evacuations were not immediately available.

Constanța serves as Romania's primary port on the Black Sea and is strategically important for the NATO member nation. The port handles significant commercial and military traffic in the region.

The type of marine drone involved was described as similar to those used in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. However, authorities have not yet released information about the drone's origin or how it reached the Romanian port.

Romania, as a NATO member state, borders Ukraine and has been directly affected by the regional conflict through various incidents involving stray munitions and drone activities in the Black Sea area.
