‘Inadmissible and intolerable’: Romania shoots down third suspected Russian drone in three days, summons Moscow's envoy

The Romanian defence ministry said an F-16 fighter jet destroyed the drone around 12 kilometres northeast of the coastal town of Sulina after it entered the country's airspace. The drone was brought down safely over territorial waters, according to Reuters.

Romanian President Nicusor Dan condemned the repeated incursions, calling them "inadmissible and intolerable".

"It is inadmissible and intolerable for the Russian Federation to continue violating Romania's airspace, which is, at the same time, Nato airspace and European Union airspace," Dan said in a post on X.
