Vladimir Putin’s army launched new waves of drones on the Ukrainian port infrastructure on the Danube, and a video taken from the Romanian shore, from Periprava, shows how terrifying these attacks can be.

Ukraine said Monday morning that it shot down 18 Russian drones and 17 cruise missiles that attacked its territory overnight. Russia launched 24 drones over the southern Ukrainian regions of Odesa and Nikolaev overnight, the Ukrainian Air Force said on Telegram. All 17 missiles were destroyed over Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava and Khmelnytskyi regions, the quoted source added.
A video from Periprava, located right on the Romanian bank of the Danube, was posted on Facebook last night, on which you can hear, at first, the characteristic sound of Iranian Shahed drones, a noise for which they were nicknamed “motorcycles”.
The noise gets louder, then the moment when the Ukrainian anti-aircraft guns go into action. A particularly loud explosion is then seen and heard, suggesting that the drone detonated on the ground.
We remind you that, on Sunday evening, the residents of the northern area of Tulcea county and those of the border area of Galati received RO-Alert messages, because there was a possibility of some objects falling from the airspace.
“The message is an informational one and provides protection recommendations that residents of the affected areas must take in case these objects fall near inhabited areas. The RO-Alert message was sent for the northern area of Tulcea county and the border area from Galaţi municipality, respectively Cotul Pisicii beach to Giurgiuleşti Customs”, specified the representatives of ISU Tulcea.
The Romanian authorities also issued an RO-Alert message for several localities in Tulcea county on Wednesday morning, announcing that there is a possibility of some objects falling from the airspace.
