Britain's foreign ministry announced it had summoned Russia's ambassador following last week's Russian drone strike on a residential building in NATO member Romania.

Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper condemned the attack, which occurred during a Russian offensive in Ukraine and resulted in two injuries in Galati, Romania. Cooper emphasized Britain's solidarity with its NATO allies in defending the alliance's territory against aggression.

The foreign ministry explained, "Russia's brutal bombardment of civilians in Ukraine follows its violation of NATO airspace last week, hitting a residential building in Romania. Injuring innocent civilians on NATO territory is unacceptable, starkly reminding us of the threats Ukrainian civilians face daily."
