Romanian Building Hit by Exploding Drone Amidst Russian Attack
29 May
Summary
- A drone struck and exploded on an apartment building roof in Romania.
- Two individuals sustained injuries from the drone incident.
- The attack occurred simultaneously with a Russian drone strike on Ukraine.
A drone struck an apartment building in Galați, Romania, on the night of May 28-29, resulting in two injuries. The drone hit the building's roof and subsequently exploded. This event coincided with a Russian drone assault on Ukraine's Izmail port, situated across the Danube River.
Romania's defense ministry confirmed that Russia has intensified drone attacks on Ukrainian targets near Romania's border. Since Russia's escalation of attacks on Ukraine's river ports, Russian drones have breached Romanian airspace 28 times. Romania, a member of NATO and the European Union, has previously condemned Moscow's actions after drone incursions.
These repeated airspace violations by Russian drones near Romania's territory have heightened tensions. The incidents underscore the escalating security concerns for NATO members situated near Ukraine.
