Romania says a drone breached its airspace during a Russian attack on neighbouring Ukraine – the second NATO country to report such an incursion.
Romanian fighter jets were in the air monitoring a Russian attack in Ukraine on Saturday and were able to track the drone near Ukraine’s southern border, the defence ministry said in a statement.
The drone was identified as a Geran, the Russian name for an Iranian-designed Shahed 136, which is used by Russia both for attacks on Ukraine and surveillance. It was detected 20km southwest of the village of Chilia Veche, before disappearing from the radar.
On Wednesday, Poland said it had shot down at least three Russian drones which had entered its airspace, according to the BBC.
