NATO condemned Russia's "recklessness" after a Shahed drone struck an apartment building in the Romanian city of Galați, injuring two people, NATO spokeswoman Allison Hart said on X on May 29.
The Alliance remains in contact with Romanian authorities.
"We condemn Russia’s recklessness, and NATO will continue to strengthen our defences against all threats, including drones," the statement reads.
A Russian Geran-2 drone struck a residential building in Galați overnight into May 29, during a broader Russian aerial assault on Ukraine. The impact triggered a fire on the 10th floor, injuring two people.
Romania's Defense Ministry confirmed the drone was of Russian origin. Romania's Foreign Ministry described the strike as a "serious and irresponsible escalation by Russia."
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
