Defence Ministry representatives deny that the drone flew over military bases

The Romanian Defense Ministry refuted claims that a downed drone flew over military bases, emphasizing operational security. General Gheorghita Vlad stated the drone did not approach sensitive areas, including the Cernavoda nuclear plant. He warned of potential future incidents due to increased maritime traffic related to grain exports from Ukraine. An F-16 from Fetesti shot down the drone after monitoring its path, with support from Italian Eurofighter Typhoons.
