Two Romanian Air Force F-16 aircraft, conducting Air Policing missions, were scrambled from the 86th Air Base Borcea at 17:43, after radar surveillance systems detected a group of aerial targets flying approximately 120 kilometres east of Snake Island, heading southwest.

At 17:59, the first target entered Romanian airspace and was shot down by one of the F-16 aircraft at 18:01.

A second target entered Romanian airspace at 18:01 and was shot down by the other F-16 aircraft at 18:05.

Both aerial targets were identified as drones and were shot down over Romanian territorial waters.

Further information will be provided upon completion of the mission.
