NATO and the European Union on Friday condemned the incursion of a Russian drone into Romanian airspace, describing the incident as reckless and warning against further escalation.

Romania's Ministry of National Defense stated that a Russian drone entered the airspace of Galați county overnight and struck a residential building, triggering a fire in one apartment. The country’s Foreign Minister Toiu Oana said that the ministry “summoned the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” after confirming that the drone was of “Russian origin.”

Moreover, Ukraine's navy said a Russian drone attacked a Turkish cargo vessel in the Black Sea, injuring two crew members and setting part of the ship ablaze.

According to a statement, the vessel, identified as ANT, was sailing from a port in Ukraine's Odesa region to Turkiye when it came under attack.

The Russian-Ukrainian conflict began in February 2022 and has since expanded into a prolonged war involving cross-border drone and missile attacks, with both sides regularly targeting military and infrastructure sites far from the front lines
