Given the danger posed to the workers on the production platform, the workers received a clear order to destroy the marine drone—which was reportedly loaded with explosives and exploded as a result of the gunfire. At the request of the Romanian authorities, the Ukrainian side officially clarified that the object in question was not of Ukrainian origin, Miruta added.
