Romania Scrambles Jets After Drone Breaches Airspace Amid Russian Strikes Near Border

Romania scrambled fighter jets twice in two days after drones breached its airspace amid Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure near their shared border. The EU and NATO member, which shares a 650-kilometre border with Ukraine, has experienced repeated drone incursions and debris falling on its territory since Russia targeted Ukrainian ports along the Danube. Romanian officials emphasize no deliberate targeting but highlight the spillover risks to NATO members bordering Ukraine, prompting increased air defense and surveillance measures.
