Romania Deploys Fighter Jets After Repeated Airspace Breaches
Romania scrambles jets twice in a week as unidentified drones intrude, raising NATO security concerns.
- Romania dispatched fighter jets twice this week following unidentified objects breaching its airspace near the Black Sea.
- The latest incursion occurred early Saturday, with jets unable to visually confirm the object before it disappeared from radar.
- Romanian airspace breaches are part of a pattern, with previous incidents involving suspected Russian drones near the Ukrainian border.
- NATO allies have been informed of the incidents, and an investigation is underway to determine the origin of the drones.
- Romania's Defense Ministry is exploring potential cyber interference, as pilots reported no visual contact with the intruding drones.
