Romanian army divers destroyed two Gerbera-type drones drifting in the country’s Black Sea exclusive economic zone near the ​offshore gas project Neptun Deep, Defence Minister Radu Miruta said ‌on Tuesday. The NATO state shares a 614-km (382-mile) land border with Ukraine and has seen Russian drones repeatedly breach its airspace over the last four years, as well ​as mines floating in the Black Sea across key trade and ​energy routes. In July, Romanian F-16 fighter jet pilots shot down ⁠three Russian drones breaching national airspace over three consecutive days after dozens ​of such incursions in the more than four years of Moscow’s invasion ​of Ukraine. On Tuesday, a civilian vessel working near the Neptun Deep offshore gas project spotted the drones, Miruta said. The minister did not specify the origin of ​the drones, but said Ukraine had confirmed they did not belong ​to its forces.
