On the evening of 9 November, Romania scrambled fighter jets after an airborne object was detected near the border with Ukraine.
The Romanian Ministry of Defence reported this.
The object was spotted in Ukrainian airspace about 20 kilometres north-east of the Romanian town of Sulina. In response, the Romanian Air Force launched two F-16 aircraft to patrol the country’s airspace.
As a result, an air raid alert was issued in the eastern part of Tulcea County. This happened at around 17:19 local time.
The alert was lifted at about 18:03.
“The object entered the airspace at a distance of up to 20 km east of Sulina and shortly afterwards disappeared from radar screens,” the Ministry of Defence said.
