Romania Identifies Drone Behind Strike on Apartment Block as Russian
- On Sunday, Romanian President Nicusor Dan confirmed a drone that crashed into a residential building in Galati was a Russian-origin Geran-2, stating Russia is "solely responsible" for the damage.
- The drone entered Romania's airspace during Russian strikes on Ukraine, Bucharest said, though Russian President Vladimir Putin previously claimed "no one" could determine the aircraft's origin without thorough examination.
- Cyrillic inscription '-2' was identified on recovered fragments, and "Physical and chemical analyses have confirmed the presence of the same types of materials and fuels repeatedly identified in devices of this series."
- NATO accused Moscow of "reckless behaviour" following the incident, reiterating its commitment to defend "every inch of Allied territory" against future threats.
- Separately, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported over 2,300 Russian attack drones against Ukraine this week, stating "Facts are the best cure to Putin's lies" as dozens of drones have strayed into Romania.
