A drone, believed to be from Russia, crashed into the roof of an apartment building in the city of Galati on Friday night, the Romanian Ministry of Defense said. A 53-year-old woman and a 14-year-old boy suffered minor injuries in the incident, and rescuers reported that they were stabilized. The Romanian head of state called a meeting of the Supreme Council of National Defense to discuss the consequences of the incident.
