Romania was forced to scramble F-16 jets after Russia carried out a strike just half a mile from the NATO nation’s territory.

The country’s Ministry of National Defense (MApN) confirmed in a post on X that Russia carried out a drone attack near its border.

“On the night of August 5-6, the Russian forces launched a massive drone attack on the civilian infrastructure in the Ismail area, Ukraine, near the border with Romania,” Romania’s defense ministry revealed in a post on X.

“The radar systems of the MApN detected air targets in Ukrainian airspace, close to Tulcea County. At 1:10a.m., the population in the northern part of the county was alerted via RO-Alert,” the ministry noted. RO-Alert is Romania’s official emergency warning platform.

Before setting the deadline, Trump is reported to have talked with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about brokering a deal to end the brutal conflict more than three years after Russia’s invasion. Zelenskyy later confirmed the discussion, stating that the “key focus” was on concluding the war.

“Today, we synchronized our positions – Ukraine and the United States. We shared evaluations of the situation: The Russians have intensified the severity of their assaults. President Trump is fully briefed about Russian strikes on Kyiv and other cities and communities,” Zelenskyy wrote on X.
