A drone was shot down in Romania, Romanian President Nicușor Dan said on X on July 25.
“This morning, at 8:30 a.m., another drone was shot down in Romanian airspace, 10 kilometers west of the town of Sfântu Gheorghe in the Danube Delta,” he wrote.
According to him, the drone was shot down by a Romanian pilot flying an F-16 fighter jet.
On July 24, a Romanian F-16 shot down an unidentified drone in the country’s airspace.
Yurii Ihnat, head of communications for the Ukrainian Air Force, said the drone that entered Romanian airspace on July 24 may have been deliberately directed toward the territory of the NATO member state.
Romania’s Defense Ministry later said preliminary information indicated that the drone that entered Romanian airspace on July 24 was a Russian Shahed.
