On 4 September, Ukraine reported that two Shahed attack drones had crashed in Romania during a Russian attack on Izmail and Reni.
At first, the Romanian side categorically denied the incident.

However, on 6 September, the Minister of Defence of Romania confirmed that fragments similar to the wreckage of a drone had been found near the banks of the Danube on the Romanian side and submitted for examination.
Romanian President Klaus Iohannis then said that an urgent investigation was needed and that if it was confirmed that these were fragments of a Shahed drone, Romania would consider the situation "absolutely unacceptable".
The country has also begun discussing the evacuation of residents of villages across the Danube opposite Ukrainian ports.
