Romania Takes a Stand: Summons Russia's Ambassador After Drone Incursions
Romania is ramping up its diplomatic efforts, calling in Russia’s ambassador after its military shot down a third drone incursion in just three days. The Romanian Defence Minister confirmed that an F-16 fighter jet intercepted the latest drone over the Black Sea, a worrying development amid the ongoing tensions stemming from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

These drone incidents are a stark reminder of the escalating military threats Romania faces as a NATO member.
