Romania has once again scrambled fighter jets last night after Russian forces attacked several targets in Ukraine.
A drone reportedly briefly entered Romanian airspace near the Ukrainian border.
The attack last night targeted the town of Izmail in the southern Odesa region, where three people were killed and at least 11, including a child, were injured, according to Governor Oleh Kiper quoted by Kiev Independent.
The Ukrainian Air Forces confirm that a Russian drone “strayed” into Romanian territory. In total, 32 drones were launched last night, of which 24 were intercepted, according to the Ukrainians.
“For monitoring the situation, two F-16 aircraft of the Romanian Air Forces took off from the 86th Air Base in Borcea starting at 1:52 am and, later, starting at 3:22 am, two F-18 aircraft of the Spanish Air Forces from the Extended Air Policing Service at the 57th Air Base in Mihail Kogălniceanu.”
