Two Romanian F-16 jets intercepted the drone over the Black Sea after it entered Romanian airspace, as confirmed by President Nicusor Dan. The drone is believed to be of the ‘Shahed type,’ utilized by Russia in its ongoing conflict with Ukraine. This incident follows two similar incursions in the preceding days, highlighting escalating tensions in the region. NATO spokesperson Col. Martin O’Donnell emphasized the alliance’s commitment to monitoring and defending against such threats, while Belgium reaffirmed its support for Romania amidst these security challenges.
