Romania summons Russian envoy as it shoots down third intruding drone

Romania has shot down three Russian drones within three days, prompting the country to summon Russia's ambassador to protest 'repeated violations' of its airspace. The incidents occurred on Sunday, following similar interceptions on Friday and Saturday, with an F-16 jet shooting down a drone over the Black Sea. Romanian authorities identified the drone as a Shahed model used by Russia in its conflict with Ukraine. The actions highlight growing concerns about Russian military activity near NATO borders, with experts suggesting these incursions aim to test Western defenses. Romania joins other NATO members facing frequent drone attacks, including a recent strike in Galati that injured two people and a drone explosion in Constanta port. NATO officials have condemned the behavior, emphasizing the need for enhanced air defense measures.
