A car crashed into the gate of the Russian Embassy in Bucharest early on Wednesday, bursting into flames and killing the driver, police in the Romanian capital said in a statement, according to Bloomberg.
The driver wasn’t immediately identified and no more details about the crash were available as the investigation was underway, according to the police.
It was unclear whether the crash was an accident or deliberate.
During recent weeks, several Russian embassies elsewhere in Europe have been targeted by protesters angered by the invasion of Ukraine.
Romania said on Tuesday it would expel 10 Russian diplomats who are not acting in accordance with international rules, joining other European countries to have done so in recent days.
Nearly 624,860 Ukrainians have fled to Romania since Russia invaded their country on February 24, and around 80,000 are still in Romania, Reuters reports.
