A driver was killed when he crashed his car into the gate of the Russian embassy in Bucharest early this morning, the Romanian capital's police said in a statement.
Video recorded before firefighters arrived on the scene shows the front of the car engulfed in flames as it was still wedged in the gate of the Russian embassy.
It is currently unclear whether this was an accident or a deliberate act.
In recent weeks, Russian embassies in other European countries have been targeted by protesters angered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Police said they are investigating the incident and did not release the name of the driver.
Romania announced yesterday, Tuesday, that it would expel 10 Russian diplomats for not acting in accordance with international rules, after other European countries have done so in recent days.
[BR][BR]Nearly 624,860 Ukrainians have fled to Romania since February 24, when Russia invaded their country, and some 80,000 remain in Romania.
