Overview

  • Romania said a Russian drone violated its airspace near Tulcea, scrambled two F-16s to track it, and labeled the incident an act of aggression.
  • EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas condemned the breach as an imprudent escalation and an unacceptable violation of a member state’s sovereignty.
  • NATO announced the 'Centinela oriental' initiative to reinforce the eastern flank, with Denmark, France, and Germany deploying fighters and the UK and Spain joining the effort.
  • Ukraine carried out a drone strike on Russia’s Kirishi refinery that sparked a fire, while Russian officials said drones were downed and falling debris caused the blaze amid domestic fuel shortages and a gasoline export pause.
  • Russia and Belarus pressed on with Zapad-2025 exercises that included a reported Zircon missile launch, the UK summoned Moscow’s ambassador over drone incursions, Russia denied the Romanian breach, and President Donald Trump urged allies to stop buying Russian oil as he floated new sanctions.
