A Russian drone violated Romanian airspace and crashed on Romanian territory. German and Romanian fighters were scrambled in response. Germany was at the time contributing to NATO's enhanced air policing on the alliance's south-eastern flank, and the mission's aircraft appear repeatedly in Romanian incident reports from this period.
An Italian Eurofighter on NATO Baltic Air Policing duty destroyed an unidentified drone over eastern Latvia before dawn on 14 August, the second time the alliance's quick-reaction force has shot one down over the country this year.
