Russian Drone Hits Romanian Apartment Building, Triggers F-16 Scramble
A Russian drone slammed into a residential apartment block in Galați, Romania, injuring civilians in the first confirmed direct strike on Romanian soil amid the Ukraine war.
The incident occurred as Russia launched attacks on nearby Ukrainian port infrastructure along the Danube River border. Romania immediately scrambled F-16 fighter jets in response to the airspace breach.
As a NATO member, Romania now faces heightened tensions in the Black Sea region, with expectations of strong diplomatic protests and reinforced air defenses.
