NATO scrambles war planes as Russia launches strikes less 1 mile from border

الوصف:

NATO scrambled fighter jets overnight after heavy Russian strikes on Ukraine targeted oil facilities and port infrastructure in Izmail, near the Romanian border, less than a mile from Alliance territory. The Romanian Air Force confirmed that German Typhoon jets were deployed to monitor the situation, though no drones entered NATO airspace. This marks the second such response in three days. The bombardments, which injured civilians including children in Sumy and caused destruction in Donetsk and Odesa, drew sharp condemnation from President Zelensky, who called for tougher sanctions on Moscow and stronger security guarantees, the Express has reported. The attacks come as the U.S. pushes for an emergency summit between Putin and Zelensky, underscoring rising tensions between Russia and Europe.
