Kaja Kallas, the head of EU diplomacy, criticized the intrusion of Russian drones in Romania, considering it an unacceptable escalation of regional tensions.

The drone was observed approaching the border with Ukraine, and the Romanian authorities mobilized F-16 and Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft to monitor the situation. Although the pilots had authorization to shoot down the drone, they decided not to open fire due to collateral risks. The Ministry of National Defense condemned the actions of the Russian Federation, highlighting their impact on stability in the Black Sea.
