Romanian military forces shot down a drone that entered the country's airspace on Sunday, marking the third such incident in as many days. The Romanian defense minister confirmed that a fighter jet was deployed to intercept the aircraft. In response to the repeated breaches, the Romanian government announced it would summon the Russian ambassador to address the situation.
President Klaus Iohannis has characterized these airspace violations as "intolerable." A government investigation into the first of the three drones identified it as a Shahed model, a type frequently utilized by Russia in its ongoing war against Ukraine. Moscow has not issued an immediate public comment regarding the incidents.
