Romania scrambles F-16 jets following aerial target detection

Romania scrambled two F-16 fighter jets after radar detected an aerial target around 12 km north of Chilia, near the Ukrainian border. Authorities issued a RO-Alert to residents in northern Tulcea County as a precaution, and the aircraft were sent to monitor the situation.

The alert was lifted, and Romanian authorities reported that there was no unauthorized entry into the national airspace.
