Romanias Ministry of Defense said on September 14 that a drone intruded into Romanian airspace on Saturday during a Russian attack on Ukrainian infrastructure near the border, forcing the country to scramble fighter jets. Defense Minister Ionut Mosteanu said an F-16 fighter pilot narrowly missed shooting down the drone, which was flying very low and then left Romanian airspace toward Ukraine. Romania, a member of the European Union and NATO, shares a 650-kilometer (400-mile) border with Ukraine. The Romanian Ministry of Defense said in a statement that two F-16 fighter jets, and later two Eurofighter jets, were scrambled on Saturday, and warned residents of Tulcea County in the southeast, near the Danube River and the Ukrainian border, to take cover.On September 14, Penske Media, the owner of Rolling Stone and Billboard, sued Google in a federal court in Washington, D.C. on Friday, accusing the latter of using its AI summary feature without permission and cutting website traffic. This is the first time that a major American publisher has filed a lawsuit against Googles AI-generated summaries. For months, several news organizations have said that these new features will divert users and erode advertising and subscription revenue. The lawsuit stated that AI summaries are currently displayed in about 20% of Google search results linking to its website, and the proportion is expected to continue to rise. As search traffic declines, the companys associated revenue will have fallen by more than a third from its peak by the end of 2024. Google responded on Saturday that AI summaries can provide users with a better experience and bring traffic to more different types of websites.According to the local governor: A fire broke out at the Kirish oil refinery in Russia after the wreckage of a drone fell, and the fire has now been extinguished.On September 14th, US media reported on the 13th that FBI Director Kash Patel was questioned for mistakenly announcing a "suspect in custody" in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a political ally of US President Trump. Following the shooting on the 10th, local police in Utah quickly arrested one person, and Patel announced the arrest on social media. However, it was later confirmed that police had arrested the wrong person, with the shooter still at large. Patel will face questioning from lawmakers about this case and broader issues at a congressional hearing next week.On September 14th, five US F-35 fighter jets were spotted landing in Puerto Rico on Saturday, just as Trump ordered an additional 10 stealth fighter jets to the Caribbean last week to combat drug cartels and address tensions with Venezuela. Photos show the aircraft landing at the former Roosevelt Roads military base in Ceiva, Puerto Rico. US helicopters, Osprey transport aircraft, other transport planes, and US military personnel have also been spotted at the base in recent days. When asked about the situation, a Pentagon duty press officer stated, "We do not have any force deployment changes to announce at this time." Sources reported last week that the Trump administration had ordered the deployment of 10 F-35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico to carry out operations against drug cartels.
