The unmanned aerial vehicle that crossed the border was hit by Ukrainian air defenses, Romanian President Nicusor Dan has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for an \u201cobjective investigation\u201d<\/em> into a drone incident in Romania in which two people were injured. Moscow is ready to share its assessment if it is provided with either the debris of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or the data about it, he told journalists on Friday.<\/p>\n

A drone crashed into an apartment block in the eastern Romanian city of Galati near the Ukrainian border early on Friday. The Romanian Defense Ministry claimed the UAV had originated from Russia.<\/p>\n

Putin noted that drones have previously crashed in various EU nations, including Finland, Poland, and the Baltic States.<\/p>\n

\u201cA short time later, it would emerge that these incidents had nothing to do with Russian aircraft at all. Rather, they involved drones of Ukrainian origin that had gone off course due to electronic warfare\u2026 or technical shortcomings,\u201d<\/em> the president said during his visit to Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

Putin called on the Romanian authorities to share \u201cobjective evidence\u201d<\/em> with Russia, adding that Moscow did the same when the Ukrainian military targeted a Russian presidential residence in a drone strike. \u201cLet them [Romanians] do the same and provide the evidence to us,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n

Romanian President Nicusor Dan, who visited the drone crash site on Friday, told journalists that the incident could have been caused by Ukrainian air defenses. According to him, the drone was a part of a group of Russian UAVs deployed against targets in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of them were shot down over Ukrainian territory, and one of them was probably hit above the city of Reni. Its trajectory changed and it came toward Galati,\u201d<\/em> he said, adding that the Romanian authorities have data on the drone\u2019s movement. According to Dan, the incident was not considered a deliberate attack by Russia but rather the consequence of military operations not far from the Romanian border.<\/p>\n

Russia has previously been blamed for drone and missile incidents in EU nations. One of the most high-profile incidents involved an S-300 air defense missile killing two people in Poland not far from the Ukrainian border in 2022.<\/p>\n

Kiev was quick to frame the incident as a Russian attack \u201con the collective security\u201d<\/em> of NATO while Warsaw eventually determined<\/a> that the projectile had been fired by Ukraine in a bid to repel a Russian strike on targets inside Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
