Russia expels Romanian diplomat following drone airspace violations
Russia has announced the expulsion of a Romanian diplomat, declaring them persona non grata. This move follows Romania's recent decision to expel a Russian diplomat.
The diplomatic tension stems from incidents in late July when the Romanian military shot down three drones that violated its airspace. Investigations confirmed that at least one of the downed aircraft was a Russian Geran-2 drone. Romania has held Russia responsible for these violations of its sovereignty and for endangering the security of the region, including NATO and European Union airspace.
In response to the escalating situation, Romania has recalled its ambassador to Moscow for consultations.
