NATO and EU officials condemn a drone strike in Romania after an unmanned aerial device enters Romanian airspace and explodes against a 10-story apartment building in Galați. Multiple outlets report that NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte calls the incident an example of “reckless” behavior by Russia and says NATO pledges absolute solidarity with Romania. He also reiterates that NATO stands ready to defend every inch of allied territory.
The reports describe damage concentrated on the top floor, where the explosion reportedly tears through a flat. A woman and a child are said to have been injured. NATO’s response is framed as a warning about risks posed to member states, while EU condemnation aligns with calls for accountability following the cross-border incident.
The outlets characterize the event as significant and unusual because it involves a drone entering Romanian airspace before striking civilian infrastructure, prompting immediate diplomatic condemnation from NATO and EU institutions.
