Romania Downs Third Russian Drone in Three Days

A Romanian F-16 shot down a Russian drone over the Black Sea, the third such interception in three days as NATO’s eastern flank faces repeated airspace violations.

President Nicusor Dan called the breaches ‘intolerable’ and demanded an end to the incursions.

Romania summoned the Russian envoy to protest the ongoing violations.

The incidents raise concerns over the impact on NATO states of the Russia-Ukraine war.
