A Romanian Air Force F-16 fighter jet disabled an explosive-laden sea drone near a gas production platform in the Black Sea. The drone was spotted by a merchant ship near the "Neptun Alpha" platform, 80 nautical miles east of Constanta. Romania's president, Nicusor Dan, blamed Russia for the incident, while EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen described it as an example of "hybrid warfare". The drone was destroyed by a Romanian Navy team after being targeted by the F-16's cannon.
