A drone entered Romanian territory early on Sunday as Moscow struck “civilian targets and port infrastructure” across the Danube in Ukraine, Romania's Ministry of National Defense reported. It added Bucharest had deployed F-16 warplanes to monitor its airspace and issued text alerts to residents of two eastern regions. It also said investigations were underway of a potential “impact zone” in an uninhabited zone along the Romanian-Ukrainian border. There were no immediate reports of any casualties or damage. Later on Sunday, Latvia’s Defense Minister Andris Sprūds said that a Russian drone fell the day before near the town of Rezekne, and had likely strayed into Latvia from neighboring Belarus. Rezekne, home to over 25,000 people, lies some 55 kilometers (34 miles) west of Russia and around 75 kilometers (47 miles) from Belarus, the Kremlin’s close ally. While the incursion into Latvian airspace appeared to be a rare incident, Romania has confirmed drone fragments on its territory on several occasions since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, as recently as July this year. Mircea Geoana, NATO's outgoing deputy secretary-general and Romania's former top diplomat, said on Sunday morning that the military alliance condemned Russia’s violation of Romanian airspace. “While we have no information indicating an intentional attack by Russia against Allies, these acts are irresponsible and potentially dangerous,” he wrote on X. Latvia's military on Sunday similarly said that there were no indications that Moscow or Minsk purposely sent a drone into the country. In a public statement, the military said it had identified the crash site, and that a probe was ongoing. Sprūds, the Latvian defense minister, sought to downplay the significance of the drone incursion. “I can confirm that there are no victims here and also no property is infringed in any way,” Defense Minister Andris Sprūds told the Latvian Radio on Sunday, adding that any risks in the event were immediately eliminated: “Of course, it is a serious incident, as it is once again a reminder of what kind of neighboring countries we live next to.” Euro News || Yahoo News 3 Likes 1 Share

WriterNig:It shows that Russian drones are malfunctioning or the operators are clueless on how to use the drones. You thought the news is worthy for bragging right but you are only exposing Russian incompetence in flying drones. 34 Likes 8 Shares |

China = 1.4 billion India = 1.4 billion Iran = 80 million Africa = 1 billion Brazil = 220 million + Indonesia and other Asian countries = 500 million + Russia have over 4.5 billion people solidly behind it but some clowns think it will be affected by sanctions of the west with just a measly 900 million people. The rest of the world still does business with Russia. And also pay in their local currencies. By the way, a few countries in the west still do business with Russia openly. While the rest, including EU, US, Canada do it secretly. European countries still pay for Russian gas and other products in Rubles till this day. jmoore:Lmaoo. Time will tell. Go back to your CNN propaganda, this is meant for right thinking people. 40 Likes 4 Shares |

jmoore:Dummy. You think those countries are like a stone throw from Russian strike targets in Ukraine? We're talking over 75km and 200 drones. 2 entered NATO territories but you think it's a malfunction. Well prepare yourself, cause you'll keep seeing more and more "malfunctions" hitting schools, residential areas and military targets in NATO countries. I'd really love to see more "malfunctions" happen. 21 Likes 7 Shares |

Standing5:Many African countries received tons of grains for free from Russia. The shipment arrived about 3 months ago. You should ask Nigerian leaders why they felt too big to partake in it. "That man" is not the cause of the hike in the price of bread in Nigeria. Blame your president or don't you have one? 19 Likes 4 Shares |

Lol. Even Putin is tired of this war. I laugh at people who thinks everything is bread and butter for either Russia or Ukraine. Russia has to source weapons from all places, had to re-import some of the weapons it sold out already. He's just praying Trump wins to help him negotiate his way out. Grandpa is seriously tired but his ego will not allow him to give up. 7 Likes |

lecowas:Please just stick to CNN & Hollywood. You know nothing. You think Ukraine is a US state that Trump will just hand over to Russia? You must be really slow. Ukraine is Russia, a part and parcel of Russia. Ukranians share blood, ancestry, culture, language and everything with Russians. Russia created Ukraine and gifted them those lands. Ukraine is more important to Russia than anything on earth. Russia would rather reduce the whole world to radioactive ash than let Ukraine join NATO. Trump ko, Biden ni.. 14 Likes 4 Shares |
