Romanian fighter jets shoot down 2 drones over Black Sea

Romanian F-16 fighter jets have shot down two drones over the country's territorial waters, according to the Romanian Defense Ministry. "Two drones were engaged and shot down a few minutes ago by Romanian military pilots over the Black Sea , moments after they had illegally entered our country," Defense Minister Radu Miruta wrote on Facebook. So far, no information has been released regarding the country of origin of the drones. F-16 fighter jets shot down the drones some 20 kilometers (13 miles) southeast of Sulina. "The first drone entered national airspace at 17:59 (14:59 GMT) and was shot down within two minutes," Miruta said. He added that the second one was shot down at 6:05 p.m., five minutes after entering Romanian airspace.
