Russian drones have breached Romania’s airspace 28X since Moscow began attacking Kyiv’s ports across the #Danube, Romania’s defense ministry said on Friday, according to the Reuters news agency.

In Sept 2025, #Romania condemned Moscow’s “irresponsible actions” after alleging that a Russian drone breached Romanian airspace during an attack on neighboring #Ukraine, prompting Bucharest to scramble fighter jets.
