Strikes have seen 13,000 residents without power in Zaporizhzhia as Russia and Ukraine trade drone attacks.
For the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine, a Russian drone struck a residential building in Romania on May 29, injuring two people. The incident in the city of Galati, near the Ukrainian border, has exposed the civil protection system's flaws, the poor condition of shelters and the lack of public information. On May 29, a Russian Geran-2 drone struck an apartment building in Galati, Romania, injuring two — the first civilian victims of a Russian attack on NATO territory since the Russia-Ukraine war began four years ago.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told people last week to take cover ahead of what his government feared would be a massive Russian attack, which came on Tuesday. Swarms of missiles and drones killed more than 20 people and wounded over 100.
Le Monde English reported the story as "Romania wakes up to its vulnerability to Russian drones: 'We are theoretically in a country at peace'." CBS News reported the story as "Russian airstrikes hit Ukraine's capital Kyiv." Washington Examiner reported the story as "Russia says Europe chose war — America pays the price."
