Romania scrambles F-16s after aerial targets detected near border with Ukraine

Romanian radar detected aerial targets 16 km north of Vâlcove, Ukraine, near the Romanian border, prompting F-16 scrambles and a RO-Alert to northern Tulcea County. No incursion into Romanian airspace was reported. This is a recurring pattern of cross-border drone or missile debris incidents linked to the Russia-Ukraine war, but the specific target type and origin remain unconfirmed.
