A Romanian F-16 fighter jet shot down a drone over Romania on Friday.
Romanian President Nicușor Dan said the incident occurred at around 11 am and that an investigation has since been launched.
"The area was uninhabited, so the pilot was able to fire without any risk," he wrote in a post on X.
Providing further details on the incident, Romania's Ministry of Defence said a jet attached to the 86th air base at Fetești in eastern Romania engaged the drone with an air-to-air missile while carrying out an air policing mission.
The drone was intercepted over an "unpopulated area" around Padina, northeast of the capital, Bucharest, per the ministry.
