A Nato F-18 fighter jet operating on an air policing mission has shot down a drone that unlawfully entered Romanian airspace, marking the fourth unmanned craft brought down over the country this year, Romania's defence ministry announced on Sunday.
The aircraft was initially detected by radar as it crossed into Romanian territory from neighbouring Moldova, 24 km north of the south-eastern city of Galati. Although Romania's defence ministry did not specify the drone's origin, Nato representatives suggested a Russian link.
