Description

A Russian drone hit an apartment block in Romania causing a fire and wounding two people, officials say. The incident happened on Friday in the town of Galati - close to Romania's eastern border with Ukraine and Moldova. Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte said "Russia's reckless behaviour is a danger to us all", while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Russia's "war of aggression had crossed yet another line". Russian drones have strayed across Romania's border a number of times during the four-year war with Ukraine, but it is the first time citizens from the Nato country have been hurt. Russia has yet to comment on the incident. Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog For more news, analysis and features visit: www.bbc.com/news #Romania #Russia #BBCNews

NATO acts like an insurance company looking for a legal loophole to avoid paying out a claim when it comes to Article 5, they're not going to do anything.....

I don't get why would somebody need a 'correspondent' from Hungary when they are talking about Galati, Romania. It's like we have an attack on Florida, and we have a correspondent from Mexico breaking the news. It's just dumb.

Cute condemnation. Let me guess, a lavish meeting, with first class or private jets, and five star hotels, to make sure the condemnation statement is delivered with purpose
