A Russian drone involved in an overnight attack on Ukraine crashed into an apartment building in eastern Romania, injuring two people, Romanian authorities said. Romania has asked NATO to expedite the transfer of anti‑drone capabilities to its military.
If they provide us with any objective data... in that case, we will assess what happened.
No one can say the origin of this or that aircraft until an examination of that aircraft is conducted.
I think we have the same situation here.
As our allies and partners across Europe and the world have made clear today, Russia's aggression does not stop at borders. By continuing to attack Ukraine and threatening neighbouring Nato members, Russia demonstrates total disregard for international law and innocent civilian lives. This must stop.
I believe (the U.S.) must act quicker. We are being very persistent.
We condemn Russia's recklessness, and NATO will continue to strengthen our defences against all threats, including drones.
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, with the impact triggering a fire.
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.
Ukraine's successful mid-range and frontline drone strike campaigns are limiting Russia's ability to transport personnel to the frontline and to supply and sustain frontline positions.
Romanians should understand that Russia is a threat to the security of the countries in the area.
I affirmed that Nato stands ready to defend every inch of Allied territory.
Russia's reckless behaviour is a danger to us all.
We will accelerate the implementation of the new package of sanctions against Russia.
We will officially communicate the consequences that this lack of responsibility on the part of the Russian Federation will have for the diplomatic relations between our countries, as well as the next steps at the European level regarding sanctions packages.
Romania will take the necessary diplomatic measures in response to this serious violation of international law and its airspace.
Romania has informed the Allies and the NATO Secretary General of the circumstances and has requested measures to accelerate the transfer of anti-drone capabilities to Romania.
