Ukrainian defenses shot down a drone near Romania’s border on Feb. 27, 2026, after Romania detected it approaching.
On February 27, 2026, Ukrainian air defenses shot down a drone near the Romanian border in the Chilia Veche area, approximately 100 meters from the village and within Ukrainian airspace.
Romania’s radar detected the drone at 8:45 a.m. heading toward northern Tulcea County, prompting an RO-Alert warning.
Romanian F-16 fighter jets launched at 9:04 a.m., confirmed radar contact nine kilometers from Chilia Veche, and the drone was destroyed by Ukrainian defenses at 9:13 a.m. A separate drone alert earlier that morning did not result in a breach of Romanian airspace.
Specialized teams remain on standby to search for debris.
The air alert was lifted at 10:12 a.m. Romania continues to monitor the situation with NATO allies amid ongoing Russian aerial attacks on Ukrainian Danube ports.
