Russian Drone Breaches Romanian Airspace Amid Overnight Attack on Ukraine

Romania scrambles fighter jets after a Russian drone crossed its border for under three minutes during an attack on Ukrainian port infrastructure.

Romania's Ministry of National Defense confirmed that a Russian drone briefly entered Romanian airspace during an attack on Ukraine's Izmail port.
Four NATO fighter jets, including two Romanian F-16s and two Spanish F-18s, were deployed in response to the incursion.
The drone strike on Izmail resulted in three fatalities and 14 injuries, including three children.
Romanian authorities issued an alert to residents of Tulcea County and are continuing to search for potential drone debris.
Romania has condemned the attack as a serious breach of international law and has called for a robust NATO response to such airspace violations.
