Inhabitants of the Romanian city of Galati, near the border with Ukraine, expressed fear, bewilderment and anger on Friday after a drone crashed into a residential building, wounding two people during the night. The crash happened in the centre of the city of 200,000 people in eastern Romania, on a busy street with 10-storey buildings, shops and banks.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. Dozens of people gathered to take photos and videos of the damage done to the last floor of the apartment block hit, where a balcony’s exterior looked partially collapsed. “Look, that’s why the alarms rang last night,” a father told his daughter. Romania said the drone was Russian, and called the incident a “serious and irresponsible escalation” by Moscow. Although Romania, a European Union and NATO member, has recorded dozens of airspace breaches since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, this was the first time a drone hit an apartment block and injured inhabitants. A 14-year-old boy and his 53-year-old mother were hospitalised with burns. A neighbourhood resident, 54-year-old traffic clerk Mihaela Blanaru, told AFP she heard a phone alert warning her about the danger, and then was surprised by the light flooding her bedroom and the noise. “I have two dogs that jumped up half a metre from the bed, leaping up and very agitated. I barely managed to calm them down,” Blanaru said, adding she had spent hours outside her apartment on the streets.
