Russian drone crashes into apartment building in Romania
A Russian drone struck an apartment building in Galati, Romania, on Friday, according to the country's defence ministry. The incident occurred as Russia conducted military operations near the Ukrainian border. The drone's complete explosive payload detonated upon impact, igniting a fire on the 10th floor of the residential structure and injuring two people.
Romania's foreign ministry characterized the incident as "a serious and irresponsible escalation" by the Russian Federation. Officials stated that Bucharest has notified NATO's secretary general and requested expedited delivery of anti-drone defense capabilities to strengthen the country's air defenses. The Romanian General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations confirmed details of the crash and the resulting fire.
