A suspected sea drone explodes at Romania’s Port of Constanța on the Black Sea coast, the country’s largest port in the region, prompting authorities to secure the area and evacuate people nearby. Multiple outlets report that a smoke plume follows the blast and that the port and surrounding zone are locked down as a precaution. Video footage cited by Euronews shows the moment of the explosion, while other reports describe the port being evacuated and the incident causing disruption to the area.
Euronews states that authorities say the drone self-destructs after the vicinity is secured and evacuated, and it reports no casualties. The other summaries describe the blast and the subsequent evacuation but do not add further detail on injuries or damage figures. Across the accounts, the incident is treated as a suspected sea-drone event, with emergency actions focused on perimeter control and clearing the area before and during the explosion. Authorities have not been described as releasing a confirmed technical cause beyond the reported self-destruction claim.
