Romania becomes second Nato country to report Russian drone in its airspace
Romania has reported that a Russian drone has violated its airspace, making it the second NATO country to encounter such an incident. The drone was detected on Tuesday in northeastern Romania, near the Black Sea, according to the Romanian defense ministry.
The Romanian defense ministry expressed serious concern over the violation, stating that it had summoned the Russian ambassador to address the issue. Russia has not yet publicly commented on the incident.
This development comes after Poland reported a similar airspace violation by a Russian drone last week. NATO has raised alarms over such actions, emphasizing the need for Russia to respect international norms and refrain from provocative activities.
Russia’s motives behind these airspace violations remain unclear, but they risk escalating tensions in the region at a time when security concerns in Eastern Europe are already heightened.
Both Poland and Romania, as NATO members, are likely to seek further assurances from the alliance to deter any potential future airspace violations.
