Russian Drone Strike Romania Galati City: The heat of the fierce war going on between Russia and Ukraine has now officially reached within the borders of NATO member states. On Friday, a Russian drone crashed into a residential apartment in Romania’s Galați city, not only damaging the building but also injuring two civilians. This is the first time since Russia’s major attack on Ukraine that a residential building outside Ukraine has been directly targeted by a drone related to this war.

Threat to citizens’ safety

Meanwhile, a Russian drone entered Romanian airspace and, despite being detected by radar, fell on the roof of an apartment located in the center of Galați city.

After this a massive fire broke out in the building. A 14-year-old boy and a 53-year-old woman were seriously injured in this accident, who were immediately taken to the nearest hospital. Romanian officials have called the incident a serious and irresponsible provocation by Moscow.

Will Article 5 of NATO apply?

Now this attack has created a new concern throughout Europe. Would this attack force NATO to use its Article 5? Let us tell you that Article 5 is the collective defense clause of NATO, under which an attack on any one member country is considered an attack on all the member countries. The EU and NATO have strongly condemned the violation of Romanian airspace and warned Russia against such incursions in the future.

Romanian President Nicosor Dan said that the decision not to shoot down the drone in the air was deliberate, to avoid putting the lives of civilians on the ground at risk. There have been several drone incursions into Romanian territory since the beginning of the war, but this is the first case where a civilian building has been directly damaged.
