Romania deployed fighter jets to track drones violating its airspace near the border with Ukraine on Tuesday morning, with one of the drones still moving further into the country, the Defense Ministry said.
The ministry said it initially deployed two Eurofighters part of a German air police mission in Romania that tracked a drone in the southeastern region of Tulcea before re-entering Ukraine.
Soldiers then deployed two Romanian F-16 fighter jets, after radar showed a violation of the second airspace in the Galati region. The planes tracked the drone's movement into the interior to the Vrancea area, the Ministry said, according to Al Arabiya from Reuters on November 25.
Related to that, residents in the three regions were warned to take cover.
Romania, a member of the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), shared a 650 km (400 miles) land border with Ukraine and has repeatedly experienced violations of airspace by drones and drone debris that have fallen to its territory since Russia began attacking Kyiv ports across the Donau River.
Meanwhile, tensions have risen along Europe's eastern side in recent months, after a Russian drone suspected of violating the airspace of several NATO countries.
