A Russian drone entered Romanian airspace near the Ukrainian border and was tracked by radar as far as the southern part of Galati. The drone crashed onto the roof of an apartment building, triggering a fire. Two people sustained minor injuries after the impact on a 10th-floor apartment. The drone’s entire explosive payload detonated, prompting the evacuation of around 70 people, and firefighters later extinguished the blaze. The incident followed renewed Russian drone attacks on civilian and infrastructure targets in Ukraine near the river border with Romania. Similar drone debris has been recovered in Romania’s border areas, including a prior crash in Galati. Separately, a non-explosive drone was found near Baia Mare in northern Romania, and authorities investigated its origin. In Ukraine’s Odesa region, drones struck the Izmail port area, with one drone becoming stuck in power lines.
"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. 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, the ministry statement added."
"The Romanian General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations announced on Facebook that a drone hit a 10th-floor apartment, starting a fire and lightly injuring two people. It added that the drone's entire explosive payload detonated, prompting the evacuation of around 70 people. The fire was eventually put out."
"Russia has repeatedly attacked the Ukrainian port of Reni on the Danube, near Galati. Russian drone debris has been recovered several times in the border area of Romania. According to authorities, just a month ago, a Russian drone crashed in Galati, striking the outbuilding of a residential home. No one was injured."
"In a separate incident, a drone without an explosive charge was found near Baia Mare in northwestern Romania. The area was secured, according to a late Thursday report by TVR, citing local authorities. Authorities are investigating the drone's origin and how it ended up in the area."
