Drone strike injures civilians in Romania amid Russia‑Ukraine war

Reuters reported the first known case during the Russia‑Ukraine conflict in which a drone caused civilian injuries in a densely populated area of Romania, a member of the European Union and NATO. The incident occurred in a Romanian locality, marking a spill‑over of the war into a NATO country and raising concerns about regional security.

The injuries were confirmed by local authorities, and the event highlights the potential for the conflict to affect neighboring states outside the immediate battlefield.
