Repeated Russian drone incursions into Romanian airspace prompted NATO air policing with German and Romanian fighter jets scrambled and heightened local security concerns. Romanian local authorities declared a village involved in the incursions effectively 'part of the war,' underscoring civilian safety issues. German Foreign Office disclosed intelligence indicating Russia is preparing for potential war against NATO by 2029, signaling increased strategic focus on deterrence in EU and NATO circles. Airspace violations via drone incursions and intelligence warnings about future conflict capability emerged as prominent hybrid warfare tactics this week. No casualties or direct damage were reported from the incursions, and detailed specifics of Russian war preparation remain unclear.
