Bucharest: A sea drone exploded early Friday in Romania's Black Sea port of Constanta without causing casualties, a week after an aerial drone crashed into an apartment building in the country, injuring two.

"The maritime drone discovered this morning, June 5, in the Civil Port of Constanta ... self-destructed around 10:30 am local time (0730 GMT) without causing any casualties," the country's defence ministry said in a statement.
