Un drone russe s’abat sur un immeuble en Roumanie
world fr / draft
A Russian drone crashed into an apartment building in Romania, a NATO country, injuring two people. Romania and NATO leaders condemned the incident as a serious escalation by Russia, which denied immediate responsibility. In response, Romania expelled a Russian diplomat and closed a consulate. This event highlights the growing dangers along the border with Ukraine, where Russia has been attacking civilian targets. Countries are discussing how to better defend against such attacks, and the EU plans more sanctions against Russia. The situation raises concerns about the safety of civilians and the security of NATO's borders.
