Romanian law enforcement officers were seen collecting evidence on Friday (May 29) at a residential block of flats in Galati after a Russian drone hit the building.

NATO and EU member Romania said a drone injured two people in the southeastern city during an overnight Russian attack on neighbouring Ukraine, the first time in the war that a drone had hit a densely populated area in Romania and caused injuries.

The incident in Romania was likely to increase tensions on NATO's eastern flank at a time when Ukraine's allies are worried about Russia's war on its neighbor spilling over its borders.

The drone hit the roof of a 10-story block of flats in Galati and caused an explosion, the Romanian authorities said
