NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte expressed solidarity with Romania as a Russian drone crashed into a residential building in the community of Galati resulting in a fire and injuring two civilians.
Rutte said in a statement posted on social media platform X that he spoke with Romanian President Nicușor Dan and assured him of NATO’s solidarity with Romania during the phone call.
“I affirmed that NATO stands ready to defend every inch of Allied territory,” Rutte's statement reads.
“We will continue to enhance our readiness to deter and defend against any threat, including from drones.”
Two people suffered minor injuries, while others were evacuated. Galați is located on the Danube River, near the borders of Moldova and Ukraine.
