A Russian attack drone hit the roof of an apartment building in southeastern Romania on Friday, according to Romanian authorities, sharply increasing tensions between the NATO member and Moscow.<\/p>\n

The drone reportedly crashed early Friday on the roof of a residential building in the city of Galati, which sits near Romania\u2019s southern border with Moldova. At least two people were injured because of the crash, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Romania said it scrambled two F-16 fighter jets and a military helicopter following the crash.<\/p>\n

Nicusor Dan, Romania\u2019s president, said the crash was unprecedented and required a \u201ccoordinated and appropriate response.\u201d He added that he had summoned the national defense council and would determine how to respond proportionally to Russia\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n

Russia has thus far not issued a formal response to the drone crash.<\/p>\n

Russian drones have repeatedly crashed near Ukraine\u2019s border with Romania since Moscow began its invasion in 2022. However, Friday\u2019s incident is the first of its kind to strike so far within Romanian territory, and the first to cause casualties.<\/p>\n

Russian drones have also been spotted in the airspace of Baltic countries over the past few months.<\/p>\n

Unlike Ukraine, Romania is a NATO member, meaning that Russian aggression in its territory would bring extreme consequences.<\/p>\n

NATO and European Union leaders lashed out at Russia on Friday, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen insisting that Moscow\u2019s \u201cwar of aggression has crossed yet another line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Dan also invoked Romania\u2019s NATO membership in his remarks covering the crash.<\/p>\n

\u201cRomania is a NATO member state and will not accept, in any way, the war of aggression waged by Russia against Ukraine to be transferred onto its citizens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

NATO, for its part, called the crash \u201creckless\u201d and promised to increase deterrence efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia\u2019s reckless behaviour is a danger to us all. Last night showed \u200cyet again that the implications of their illegal war of aggression don\u2019t stop at the border,\u201d NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte wrote on X. \u201cWe \u2060will continue to strengthen \u2060our deterrence and \u2060defence at \u2060home and continue our support for Ukraine \u2060as they defend against Russia\u2019s aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n

Romanian authorities have not said they plan to invoke Article 4 of the ANTO charter, which allows any member nation to request formal consultations with the council if it feels its security is threatened.<\/p>\n
