President Klaus Iohannis said this indicated an unacceptable breach of Romania’s air space had occurred
In a statement, Iohannis said he had informed NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg about the pieces of drone - the second to crash in Romanian territory this week - and that Stoltenberg reiterated the alliance’s complete solidarity with Romania.
Stoltenberg said Russian strikes near the border were “destabilising” even if there was no indication that Russia intended to hit a NATO member. He added in a message on X, the platform formerly called Twitter, that he welcomed the U.S. decision to deploy F-16 jets to increase air policing. The defence ministry said Romania’s Naval Forces deployed search teams after local authorities alerted them to suspected drone fragments discovered 2.5 km southeast of the village of Plauru, across the Danube from the Ukrainian port of Izmail.Since July, when Moscow abandoned a deal that lifted a de facto Russian blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, it has repeatedly struck Ukrainian river ports that lie across the Danube from Romania.
