Ukraine continued its long-range strike campaign overnight, targeting the Engels airbase and a refinery in Saratov, alongside drone production facilities within Russia. Simultaneously, a Russian drone briefly entered Romanian airspace, remaining there for approximately 20 minutes before being intercepted and destroyed over Ukraine. This incident marks a concerning escalation, raising questions about potential breaches of NATO territory. The strikes against Russian infrastructure suggest a sustained effort to degrade Russia’s military capabilities and economic resources. Ukrainian officials have not claimed direct responsibility for the attacks within Russia, consistent with their typical strategy. The drone incursion prompted Romania to scramble fighter jets and investigate the incident, reaffirming its commitment to NATO security. These events highlight the ongoing risks of the conflict spilling beyond Ukraine’s borders.
