The Arab News reported, citing Reuters, police in the Romanian capital said in a statement that driver died ramming his car into the gate of the Russian embassy in Bucharest early on Wednesday (6 Apr).

A video recorded before firefighters arrived showed the front of the car in flames as it remained wedged in the gate.

Accordingto the report, 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.

Police said they were investigating and did not release the identity of the driver.

Romania said on Tuesday (5 Apr) 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.
