May 29 (UPI) -- A Russian drone carrying explosives struck the roof of an apartment building in NATO ally Romania overnight, risking a dangerous escalation in Moscow's four-year-old war in Ukraine.
The drone had entered Romanian airspace during a Russian attack on neighboring Ukraine and struck the building in the eastern city of Galati, located near the Romania-Ukraine border, Romania's Defense Ministry said in a statement Friday.
Two people were "slightly injured," according to Romania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The two victims were transported to the Galati County Emergency Clinical Hospital, officials said.
The drone sparked a fire on the 10th floor of the building, according to the Department for Emergency Situations, which said online that 70 people were evacuated from the building.
Video of the scene shared by Galati County emergency services officials shows firefighters responding and debris littering the residential street.
