Zulu I found in this region (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zone

'this region' is the definition.
(zone is a kind of region)

'zulu i' is the wordplay.
'zulu' becomes 'Z' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'i' becomes 'one' (Roman numeral for one).
'z'+'one'='ZONE'

'found in' is the link.

(Other definitions for zone that I've seen before include "Designated or defined area" , "Distinctive area" , "Area, division" , "Area with a particular characteristic" , "Region; time area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
