Romania reported a breach of its airspace by a Russian drone during an attack on Ukraine, prompting the scramble of fighter jets. This follows similar incidents in Poland, where drones were shot down. Romania’s defense minister indicated the drone operated 10 km into Romanian territory. Concurrently, military drills involving Russian and Belarusian forces were ongoing. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy characterized the incident as an extension of the war and called for collective NATO defense measures. U.S. Secretary of State Rubio condemned the airspace violations, describing them as dangerous. Experts suggest these incursions may be escalating tests by Russia against NATO. The drone incident highlights mounting tensions in Eastern Europe amid the ongoing conflict, with calls for stronger responses from NATO member states.
