A live television report from Romania's Black Sea port of Constanța was abruptly interrupted on 5 June after a maritime drone exploded nearby, heightening concerns over the regional impact of the war in Ukraine.

The Russian drone struck an apartment building, wounding two people, Romanian officials said.

By John Irish PARIS, June 3 (Reuters) - Romania's foreign minister said on Wednesday several allies were preparing to reinforce air defence capabilities along NATO’s eastern flank after a drone identified by Bucharest as Russian crashed into a residential building on its territory.

An explosive-laden Russian drone hit an apartment building in Romania early Friday, injuring two people, its government said, as Moscow’s forces attacked a nearby Ukrainian port.

Dan confirmed Ukrainian forces lost control of the USV after it was affected by Russian electronic warfare measures. He called the drone’s entry onto Romanian sovereign territory “a direct consequence of the war Russia started against Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Navy has said that one of its uncrewed surface vessels lost control under the influence of Russian electronic warfare systems while carrying out tasks in the Black Sea operational zone

Russia accused Ukraine on Friday of killing Azerbaijani crew on board two cargo vessels headed for ​a Russian port, in a drone attack which Baku ‌said had killed at least five of its citizens.

A Swedish ⁠court ⁠has ruled that the ⁠seizure of a cargo vessel in the Baltic Sea ​was lawful and that the ship can be handed over to Ukraine, ‌where it is suspected ‌of illegally transporting grain from Russian-occupied territory.
