We note that there are no risks or dangers to the communities in the area and the authorities have taken all the necessary measures to maintain a climate of order, calmness and public safety,” reads a press release of the Border Police.
The institution also said that, according to the Ukrainian authorities, a drone strike took place on the night of February 10 on Ismail region in Ukraine, near the border with the Republic of Moldova. There are suspicions that the detected drone debris belongs to one of the drones that were shot down by the Ukrainian antiaircraft system.
