The Black Sea will be safe again.
Two F-16 from the Romanian Air Force shot down two aerial drones that entered our airspace without authorization over the Black Sea.
The military informed that the first drone entered the national airspace at 17:59 and was shot down within 2 minutes, 25km SE of Sulina.
The second drone, in the same area, was engaged and shot down at 18:05, 4 minutes after entering the national airspace, 20km E of Sulina.
The Black Sea serves as a critical maritime artery for the global export of grain, energy resources, and industrial commodities, making its stability vital to international food and energy security.
We have briefed our Allies and EU partners.
Our military has prepared for an increased intensity of hybrid interference and will continue to prioritize air defence and maritime security.
At Romania’s initiative, we will have a dedicated meeting of the North Atlantic Council on Tuesday to discuss Black Sea defence and deterrence. Romania and Bulgaria are in close contact at all levels for increased coordination and accelerate operational steps towards the establishment of the EU Maritime Security Hub in the Black Sea. @vpetrova_mfa @MFABulgaria
