- Two RAF Eurofighter Typhoons were scrambled from Borcea Air Base in Romania early on Saturday morning in response to the threat of Russian drones near the Nato border.
- The action followed the discovery of Russian drone fragments in the southeastern Romanian city of Galati, after an overnight attack on neighbouring Ukraine.
- The drone debris caused damage to an electricity pole and a household annex, marking the first instance of property damage in Romania from such incidents.
- Romanian emergency services evacuated the area where the fragments were found due to fears of explosives, with the defence ministry condemning Russia's "irresponsible actions".
- Although the RAF jets were scrambled, they did not enter Ukrainian airspace or engage any Russian assets before returning to base.
