Romanian Air Force scrambles jets amid border incursions

The Ministry of Defence confirmed the deployment on social media, noting that the targets vanished from monitoring systems before reaching Romanian territory. No violation of national airspace occurred during the incident. Following the withdrawal of the jets, officials reported that the alert status was lifted as explosions were heard on the Ukrainian side of the border. This event marks another instance of heightened sensitivity for Bucharest, which has frequently monitored debris and aerial activity drifting across its frontier since the escalation of hostilities in Ukraine.
