Romania on Friday said a Russian drone carrying explosives crashed in the eastern city of Galați, causing a fire on the roof of a residential apartment block.
The building was evacuated and two people sustained minor injuries, Toiu Oana, Romania's foreign minister, said.
"Two aircraft and a helicopter belonging to the Romanian Air Force were scrambled when Russian drones appeared on the radar, they had permission to shoot," she continued, adding that it was "a serious and irresponsible escalation" by Moscow.
