The errant drone damaged a warehouse and nearby ship after exploding near a major oil terminal. Constanta is home to the largest and deepest port on the Black Sea.This is the second drone incident spillover from the Ukraine crisis affecting Romania in a week. In late May, a UAV struck an apartment building in the eastern Romanian city of Galati, injuring two people. NATO immediately blamed Russia, but President Putin said the incident required a proper examination, and said the drone was likely Ukrainian, given similar past incidents in Poland, Finland and the Baltic states.
