Two German warplanes were sent from Romania overnight in response to a large-scale aerial attack by Russia on Ukraine. This attack happened less than a mile from the NATO border. The Romanian Ministry of Defense confirmed that the two German Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft were deployed to monitor the air situation. These planes are stationed at Romania’s Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base as part of a NATO air policing mission.
The ministry noted that during this event, no Russian aircraft or projectiles crossed the NATO border. This follows a series of incidents in recent weeks where Russian attacks have come very close to, and sometimes crossed, allied borders. These events have raised concerns about the security of the region. Even with ongoing diplomatic discussions, intense military action has continued.
