Moment Russian drone hits Romanian apartment building

The Telegraph The Telegraph — 39sec

A Russian drone fired at Ukraine has crashed into a block of flats in Romania, injuring two people.

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was tracked by radar after entering Nato airspace and struck the roof of a building in Galati, a port city in eastern Romania.

The impact caused a fire, which led to people being evacuated from the site, and two civilians were taken to hospital after suffering minor injuries.

The Romanian military scrambled two F-16 fighter jets and a helicopter to monitor further hostile UAVs, and alert messages were sent to residents in the affected areas.
