Russian drone crashes into apartment building of NATO member Romania

Russian drone hits apartment building in Romania near Ukraine border

A Russian drone crossed into Romanian airspace and struck a residential building in Galați, wounding two people — the first time a drone has hit a civilian structure on NATO territory since Russia's 2022 offensive began. The incident raises the threshold for NATO Article 5 deliberations and forces alliance members bordering Ukraine to reassess air defense coverage and rules of engagement for incursions into member airspace.
