Romania scrambled two F-16 fighters on the night of 22 September after an aerial target manoeuvred northeast of Vylkove in Ukraine, near the Romanian border, according to ABC News reporting that cited the Romanian Defence Ministry. [1]

The ministry said the alert ended about an hour later and that no incursion into Romanian airspace had been reported. The episode was therefore an air-policing response to activity across the border, not a confirmed new breach. [1]
