Details: A video of a drone crash near Romanian territory in Orlivka was posted online. It was filmed by a resident of Isaccea, who works at the ferry and was on the Ukrainian side of the river at the time.
In this footage, a man can be heard shouting to his colleagues on the barge to leave the Ukrainian port as soon as possible.
"Run, it's coming here! That's where it fell, right into customs!" says the employee immediately after a drone crashed near the port of Orlivka.
