A Russian drone has crashed into an apartment building in Romania, causing injuries to two individuals. This incident has drawn widespread condemnation from NATO members, with the alliance reiterating its commitment to defend every inch of its territory following the attack. Romanian officials have been vocal in attributing the drone strike to Russia, worsening diplomatic relations as Romania closes its Russian consulate and expels its consul. As NATO and the EU denounce the strike, U.S. officials reaffirm their support for defending allied territories. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that the drone may have had Ukrainian origins, despite significant evidence pointing to Russian involvement. The incident has ignited fears of growing tensions in Eastern Europe and raised discussions within NATO about invoking Article 4 for consultations among member states.
