Romania builds air raid shelters for residents near Ukrainian border after drone wreckage discovered

Romanian troops began the construction of air raid shelters in Plauru on the border with Ukraine on Thursday, after parts of a suspected Russian drone were discovered last week.

Dozens of soldiers were seen digging trenches and using sandbags and concrete in the construction of the two bomb shelters, which will be reportedly handed over to local authorities once completed.

Romania's Defense Ministry ordered the building of the shelters for local residents living in the village, and promised to erect more observation points and deploy additional patrols to monitor the area.

"We are not going to leave the place, we have animals here, dogs, pigs. If they will come we are going to shoot them down," said local fisherman, Nedelcu Alexandru.

Romanian Defense Minister Angel Tilvar said on Wednesday that wreckage from a suspected Russian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) had been found near Plauru.

The Russian Defense Ministry said earlier this month that its drones had struck fuel depots at the Ukrainian port of Reni, located on the left bank of the Danube River on the border with Romania.
