"Romanian authorities said the fire on an LPG tanker on the Danube River that marks the border with Ukraine has been extinguished after a Russian strike on the vessel sparked the blaze and forced the evacuation of several towns in the area. Colonel Daniel Petrov from the Emergency Situations Inspectorate in the Tulcea region said on November 18 that some residents have been allowed to return to their homes"
""Only the village of Plauru, which is located about 200 meters from the site of the event, remains under the effect of the evacuation plan," Petrov said. The liquid petroleum gas tanker, called the Ordina, caught fire following a reported Russian drone strike at a port on the Ukrainian side of the Danube River early on November 17. The attack sparked evacuations on the Romanian side of the river amid fears of explosions or further attacks in the area."
An LPG tanker, the Ordina, sailing under a Turkish flag, caught fire on the Danube River after a reported Russian drone strike at a Ukrainian port on November 17. The blaze forced evacuations of several Romanian riverside towns amid concerns over explosions from the fuel-laden ship. Some residents returned home while the nearby village of Plauru remained evacuated. Romanian defense systems detected and tracked targets in Ukrainian airspace near Tulcea but recorded no unauthorized incursions into Romanian airspace. Recent Russian drone and jet activity has spurred NATO's Eastern Sentry initiative and an EU five-year defense road map that includes a planned "drone wall."
