Russian drone crashes in NATO member Romania

A Russian drone, part of a large overnight attack on Ukraine, crashed into an apartment building in the Romanian city of Galați on May 29, 2026, injuring two people and starting a fire. Romania, a NATO member, condemned the incident as a serious violation of international law and called for faster transfer of anti-drone capabilities from the alliance. The incident sparked widespread condemnation from NATO, the EU, and European governments, raising fears of further spillover from the war in Ukraine into NATO territory.
