Romania has said that Russian drones and unidentified aerial targets have crossed into its airspace on a number of occasions in recent weeks.

The drones straying into NATO territory have not been deemed intentional attacks, but the incidents stoke the fire of tensions between the alliance and Moscow, at its worst point in decades.This type of incursion was 'unthinkable' three years ago but is 'now treated as routine,' Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said in September.
