Romanian F — 16 fighter jets shoot down two drones over its territorial waters

BUCHAREST, Oct 17 (Reuters) — Romanian F-16 fighter jets shot down two drones over the country's territorial waters on Saturday, the defence ministry said. The drones were shot down days after two chemical tankers were hit by drones near Romania's Black Sea coast, the latest in a series of attacks highlighting risks to commercial shipping on NATO's eastern flank.
