A Romanian fighter jet shot down a drone Sunday, marking the third such incident in three days. Defence Minister Angel Tîlvăr confirmed the interception, raising concerns about airspace violations. Investigations suggest at least one of the downed drones was a Shahed model, typically used by Russia in its ongoing conflict with Ukraine. This incident occurs amid heightened tensions as debris from previous drones has been found on Romanian soil, prompting discussions about potential escalation. Romanian officials are investigating the origins and intentions behind these repeated incursions. The repeated drone activity is fueling anxieties about the potential for miscalculation and broader conflict in the region, especially given Romania's NATO membership.
