At least two people were injured after a UAV crashed into an apartment block in the city of Galati on Friday
A drone crashed into an apartment block in eastern Romania near the Ukrainian border on Friday, injuring two people, emergency services said.
According to the regional emergency services department, a drone carrying explosives struck the 10th floor of the building, sparking a fire. Around 70 residents were evacuated.
Daniela Enciu, head of the regional ambulance service, said a woman was hospitalized with first-degree burns, while a teenage boy was treated for a panic attack.
Firefighters, police officers, and a bomb squad are working at the scene.
A video posted on social media purports to show the moment of the strike.

Romania has repeatedly accused Russia of violating its airspace with drones. During the most recent incident in April, Romanian officials said a UAV damaged a house and an electrical pole near Galati. Moscow denied the allegations, arguing there was no definitive proof that the drones were Russian.
Several suspected Ukrainian drones have veered into the airspace of the Baltic states in recent months. On May 7, a UAV damaged four empty oil storage tanks in eastern Latvia near the Russian border. Moscow has accused the Baltic states of allowing Ukraine to use their airspace to conduct strikes deep inside Russia – an allegation the NATO members have denied.
