Romania shoots down a drone in its airspace for the first time

The President of Romania, Nicolae Donald, announced on Friday that a Romanian pilot flying an F-16 fighter jet shot down a drone that had entered Romanian airspace for the first time. The drone crashed in a sparsely populated area near the town of Padina in Buzau province, southeast of the country, approximately 130 kilometers from Bucharest, without causing casualties or material damage. This marks the first instance since Russia's offensive in Ukraine began in February 2022 where Romanian authorities have authorized the shooting down of such an attack drone.
