Romanian airspace was breached on Sunday morning by a foreign drone that, according to radar data, flew from Moldovan territory. An F-18 fighter jet deployed as part of NATO operations shot it down at 5:01 local time, which is 4:01 CEST. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
The drone debris fell into an uninhabited area in Galați County near the Ukrainian border. Available information does not indicate the origin of the drone or who sent it. According to published reports, the Romanian ministry did not disclose the origin of the aircraft, but radar data captured its entry into Romanian airspace from Moldova. teraz.sk ↗
The incident occurred on the eastern flank of the North Atlantic Alliance, in an area bordering Ukraine and Moldova. The shooting down of the drone therefore triggered an extraordinary response from military forces and the engagement of an allied aircraft operating within the alliance's tasks.
Further developments will depend on the results of the debris investigation and the position of Romanian authorities regarding the origin of the unmanned aircraft. So far, airspace violation, fighter jet engagement, and debris impact in an unpopulated area have been confirmed.
