Eastern European Nation Bolsters Defenses After Civilian Infrastructure Hit
A Russian drone carrying explosives crashed into an apartment building in Romania, injuring at least two civilians, in the first such incident in the eastern European country. Romania deployed F-16 fighter jets and a helicopter in response, but chose not to engage the target due to concerns over civilian safety. The incident has prompted Romania to request allied anti-drone capabilities to bolster its defenses, with NATO and the EU condemning the attack and preparing new sanctions against Russia.
