Ukrainian marine drone self-detonates in Romanian port of Constanta.

A Ukrainian naval drone self-detonated near an oil terminal in the Romanian Black Sea port of Constanta on June 5, 2026, causing no casualties. Romanian authorities evacuated the area and searched for additional drones after Ukraine confirmed it had lost contact with several of its drones, reportedly due to Russian electronic warfare. Romanian and EU officials characterized the incident as a consequence of Russia's war against Ukraine.
