On July 26, 2026, the Romanian Prosecutor General's Office confirmed that a drone intercepted by Romanian forces was of the Shahed type, commonly used by Russia in its ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
This marks the third such interception within a short span, raising concerns about the security situation in the region and the potential for escalation.
The repeated drone incursions underscore the heightened tensions between Romania and Russia, particularly in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine.
