Russian official warns Europe to brace for more drone incidents after Romania episode
Medvedev said drone incidents will continue as NATO accused Moscow of reckless behavior and Romania closed Russia’s consulate after a strike injured two civilians.
On Friday, a drone struck an apartment building in Galati, Romania, injuring two civilians and prompting authorities to close the Russian consulate in Constanta.
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, warned European nations Friday that drone incursions will continue, arguing countries supplying Ukraine with weapons are directly participating in conflict.
NATO condemned the strike as 'reckless behaviour' and pledged to 'defend every inch of Allied territory,' marking one of the most serious Ukraine war spillovers into alliance territory.
Moscow vowed a swift response to Romania's consulate closure, while Russian President Vladimir Putin was briefed on the incident, the Kremlin reported Friday.
Romanian defence data indicates 2026 is shaping up as a record year for drone-related security incidents, with multiple airspace violations and debris discoveries intensifying escalation concerns across Europe.
