"Romania became the latest Nato member state to report a drone incursion into its airspace , with Poland scrambling aircraft in response to fresh Russian drone strikes just over the border in Ukraine. Romania's defence ministry said on Saturday its airspace had been breached by a drone during a Russian attack on infrastructure in neighbouring Ukraine. Romania scrambled two F-16 fighter jets late on Saturday to monitor the situation after the strikes, the ministry said in statement."
"The Russian military knows exactly where their drones are headed and how long they can operate in the air. What was required in response were fresh sanctions against Russia and a collective defence system, Zelenskyy argued. Do not wait for dozens of shaheds' and ballistic missiles before finally making decisions, he warned, referring to the Iranian-designed Shahed drones Russia is using."
Romania reported a drone breach of its airspace during Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure and scrambled two F-16 jets to monitor and track the drone until it vanished near Chilia Veche. Poland and NATO allies deployed helicopters, aircraft, ground-based air defences and radar reconnaissance systems at high alert after Russian drones struck near the Polish border, though Poland later lifted the heightened alert. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for tougher sanctions and a collective defence response to expanding Russian drone operations. US president Donald Trump said he would impose major sanctions if NATO stopped buying Russian oil.
