Across three days, from the twenty fourth to the twenty sixth of July, Romanian F-16 jets intercepted and destroyed three drones tied to Russia's armed forces in Romanian airspace. The first was a Shahed, the Iranian designed drone Russia now flies against Ukraine, brought down over open ground near the village of Padina. No one was hurt. The drones are assessed to have strayed from Russian strikes aimed at Ukraine's Danube ports, and no source has shown the Kremlin meant to cross the border. Romania summoned the Russian ambassador and called the breaches unacceptable and intolerable. NATO's secretary general called Moscow's conduct reckless. The alliance has now destroyed Russian military hardware inside its own territory for the first time in this conflict.
