Greece Voices "Deep Concern" Over Drone Incursions Into Romanian Airspace
Greece's Foreign Ministry has expressed strong concern over repeated drone incursions into Romanian airspace, calling the violations a breach of international law and pledging full solidarity with Bucharest. "Greece expresses deep concern over the repeated incursions of unmanned aircraft into Romania's airspace," the ministry said in a post on X. "Any violation of the airspace and territorial integrity of a sovereign state constitutes a clear breach of international law and is unacceptable. We express our full solidarity with our EU partner and NATO ally, Romania." The statement did not specify the source of the drones or provide further details on the incidents. Romania, a NATO member bordering Ukraine, has reported multiple airspace violations in recent years attributed to drone debris and aircraft linked to Russia's war in Ukraine, prompting repeated protests from Bucharest and expressions of support from allies across the alliance. Greece's statement adds to a chorus of NATO members who have condemned airspace violations near the alliance's eastern flank amid heightened tensions over Russian military activity in the Black Sea region.
