Two Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets belonging to the German Air Force, stationed at Romania's 57th  Mihail Kogalniceanu Airbase near Constanta flew over the area near the border with Ukraine on Thursday evening after the Romanian Ministry of National Defence's radar surveillance systems detected a group of aerial drones over the Black Sea, 36 nautical miles northeast of Sulina, in the Danube Delta, said the Romanian Ministry of National Defence.

The website specifies that shortly after radar contact was established, the drones changed their trajectory to the north and later the electronic signal disappeared.

The German Air Force has been participating for four months with a squadron of five fighter jets in the reinforced Air Policing mission to protect national and allied airspace, the Romanian Ministry of National Defence recalled.

Unity and solidarity are the foundation of the North Atlantic Alliance and a firm guarantee that any challenge to security will be met with a united and decisive response, the Ministry said in a statement.

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Russian military drones have entered Romanian airspace several times and crashed on national territory, Digi24 recalled.
