Thousands of people in Romania have received warning messages on their mobile phones after a so-called air target appeared over the Black Sea. In response, NATO fighter jets were scrambled while alarm signals sounded in the region.
According to the available information, the object was initially located near the Ukrainian Snake Island. The warnings explicitly referred to an "air target" over the Black Sea. What kind of object it was, and who it belonged to, has not yet been clarified.
A report by the tabloid portal Express links the events to an attack on a NATO ship in Romania. However, whether such an attack actually took place cannot be verified on the basis of the available material. No official confirmation supporting this connection exists.
The source situation is currently thin. The information provided contains no details on the origin or flight path of the target, nor any official statement from the Romanian authorities or the alliance. The situation over the Black Sea therefore remains unclear for now, and further details are awaited.
