It is not the first, I would like it to be the last, it did not put anyone's life in danger," declared Marcel Ciolacu.Asked about the origin of the drone and what would have happened if it had fallen in a residential area, the prime minister reaffirmed that he is waiting for the investigation, but the drone would not have caused damage even if it had fallen in other areas because its crater shows that it was no explosion."At the moment we have no victims and there are no such problems. We hope that they are as small as possible or that we avoid these events as much as possible. Let's wait for the investigation. If we look at the crater, it did not have an explosion. That is why it could not cause damage even if it had fallen in another area. Let's wait for the investigation," said the prime minister.
