Officials from the Baltic countries assert that Moscow is behind the incident involving the drone that was shot down by a Romanian F-16. The Estonian foreign minister stated that the Ukrainian drones were diverted by Russian jamming, urging Kyiv to be more careful with attack routes.

The Estonian Minister of Defense, Hanno Pevkur, stated that the decision to shoot down the drone was made to protect the civilian population. The spokesperson for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Heorhii Tykhyi, apologized for the incident, emphasizing that Ukraine did not intend to use the airspace of the Baltic countries.

The incident generated widespread reactions, including an air threat alert in Latvia. The Romanian pilot, Commander Pavelescu Costel-Alexandru, was praised for his action, and the Romanian Minister of Defense proposed a distinction for him.
