Israel on Friday expressed concern that the Russia-Ukraine war could spill further into Europe and beyond after a Russian drone struck a residential building in Romania, about nine miles from the Ukrainian border.
“Israel is concerned by the spillover of the war in Ukraine to Romania and neighboring countries. This is a dangerous development,” the Israeli Foreign Ministry wrote on X.
“We send our wishes for a speedy recovery to the wounded and express solidarity with Romania and the Romanian people,” it added.
A Russian drone veered off course and struck a 10-story apartment building in Galați (Galati), a city in eastern Romania near the border with Ukraine and the Danube River, injuring two people.
It was the first time a Russian drone caused injuries in a populated area inside a NATO member state.
