Romania Destroys Drone Near Major Gas Project in the Black Sea

President Nicusor Dan blamed Russia for the explosive-laden maritime drone in the Black Sea - another indication of the security risks that Romania faces as the war in neighbouring Ukraine continues.

Two F-16 fighter jets scrambled after spotting a drone "loaded with explosives" near a Black Sea gas project. EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said the incident was part of "an escalating campaign of threats."

BUCHAREST, Aug 20 - Romania scrambled F-16 fighter jets to destroy a marine drone spotted a few hundred metres from the Black Sea gas project Neptun Deep, Defence Minister Radu Miruta said on Thursday.
