Summary
10:13 a.m. Sunday, a Romanian Air Force F-16 shot down another drone over territorial waters in the Sulina-Kiliya area, marking the third interception in three days.
Dan said prosecutors have identified the drone downed on July 24 as a Russian Shahed, while investigations into the Saturday and Sunday drones are still underway.
Romania will base a diplomatic protest to Russia on those findings, with Dan calling the repeated breaches of Romanian—and therefore NATO and EU—airspace unacceptable and intolerable.
The latest shootdown follows a July 25 interception near Sfantu Gheorghe and Romania's first fighter-jet drone kill on July 24 after a drone penetrated deep into its territory.
