BUCHAREST, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- Romania scrambled German Eurofighter Typhoon jets and its own F-16 Fighting Falcons on Tuesday morning after two drone intrusions were detected in its airspace near the border with Ukraine, the Ministry of National Defence (MApN) said.
According to MApN, air-defense radars first detected a drone-sized target heading toward Romanian airspace over Tulcea County. A second intrusion was detected over Galati County.
The ministry said the situation was still being monitored and gave no immediate information on who launched the drones or whether any debris had fallen on Romanian territory. MApN noted that Law No. 73 of 2025 provides the legal framework for neutralizing unauthorized drones in Romanian airspace, stipulating that any response must prioritize the protection of human life. ■
