Russian Drone Strikes Romanian Apartment Building, Wounding Two People

A Russian drone struck an apartment building in NATO-member Romania early Friday morning local time, wounding two people. The Romanian defense ministry stated during the night of May 28-29, the Russian Federation resumed drone attacks on civilian and infrastructure targets in Ukraine, near the river border with Romania.

One of these drones entered Romanian airspace, was tracked by radar as far as the southern part of the city of Galati, and crashed onto the roof of an apartment building. Emergency services reported two people were wounded. Last September, Romania reported its airspace was breached by a drone during a Russian attack on neighboring Ukraine. The country scrambled two F-16 fighter jets at the time. Poland also reported that it shot down Russian drones in its own airspace last month.
