Romania said it is reaching out to other Nato leaders and the UN Security Council after a Russian drone struck a residential building in the country overnight.
Two people were injured and a fire broke out on the roof of the block of flats after the drone crashed into the building in Galati, a city close to the border with Ukraine, according to Romania’s Ministry of National Defence.
Romania’s President Nicusor Dan called it “the most serious incident to affect the national territory since the start of the Russian Federation’s war of aggression” against Ukraine.

The exact cause of the incident is still unclear, and Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs had not yet commented. But Dan claimed it was a “direct consequence of Russia’s war of aggression unleashed against Ukraine”, though he stopped short of calling it an attack.
