Madrid, Spain: Spain on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) said it would send 14 fighter jets to Bulgaria and Romania to bolster NATO's eastern flank as the defense alliance strengthens its deterrence capacity following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Madrid will send six Eurofighter jets and 130 soldiers to Bulgaria between mid-November and early December to train local forces, the Spanish defense ministry said in a statement.
