According to Bulgarian media, locals of the Black Sea town of Tyulenovo found the drone on Sunday evening. They called the police, who discovered that 82-millimeter high-explosive ammunition was attached to the drone. The Bulgarian defense ministry
sent a special unit from the Varna Naval Base to destroy the drone after a request from the regional governor and the defense chief.

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis emphasized that the presence of Russian drone wreckage in Romania would constitute a significant violation of the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
