During Russia’s morning airstrikes on Ukrainian Danube ports, Romania’s MoD’s radars detected a Russian drone heading north toward Tulcea County. At 09:04, two Romanian F-16s were scrambled from Fetești to monitor the airspace. The pilots confirmed the target 9 km from Chilia Veche (still in Ukrainian territory), and at 09:13, Ukrainian air defense systems shot it down just 100 meters from the Romanian village. Video footage of the incident has surfaced, shared via sources including SNPP Politia Penitenciara on Facebook. Romanian teams remain ready to check for any debris near the border, with NATO allies informed—no airspace violation occurred on Romania’s side this time.
