Romania’s defence ministry said on Sunday that a Spanish fighter jet shot down a drone that breached its airspace near the border with Ukraine and Moldova.
The incident is the latest to highlight the challenges facing NATO states bordering Ukraine, exposing them to the spillover of Russia’s war.
The drone, which entered from Moldova, was intercepted by an F-18, deployed on NATO duties, the ministry said in a statement.
Debris fell in an unpopulated area of the Galati region, near the Ukrainian border, it added.
Romania’s eastern seaboard, bordering the Black Sea, is in the immediate vicinity of areas frequently targeted by strikes.
