Romania reported a Russian drone incursion into its airspace, prompting fighter jets to scramble in response. The drone was detected intermittently for about 12 minutes near the Romanian border after Russian strikes in Ukraine. This incident follows the US announcement of troop reductions in NATO’s eastern flank, including at the strategically important Mihail Kogalniceanu airbase, though approximately 1,000 US troops will remain in Romania. Romanian officials have downplayed the troop reduction, suggesting it is a shift in military rotation rather than a withdrawal.
