Russian Drone Hits Romania, First NATO Casualties

Both wars widened beyond their fronts. A Russian drone caused the war's first casualties on NATO soil, hitting an apartment block in Galați, Romania, prompting Bucharest to expel Russia's consul and NATO to vow it would defend "every inch"; another struck a Turkish cargo ship off Odesa. In the Gulf, Trump threatened to "blow up" Oman even as US and Iranian negotiators agreed a 60-day ceasefire extension, and oil's retreat lifted Japan's Nikkei past 65,000. Der Spiegel reported a "drastic" US cut to NATO forces as Africa fought an Ebola outbreak spreading from Congo into Uganda.

Russian drone strikes Galați apartment block, injuring two, as Romania closes Russia's Constanța consulate

A Russian Geran-2 drone, part of a 43-UAV swarm launched at Ukraine, crashed into a 10-story apartment block in Galați, Romania, overnight on May 29, injuring a 14-year-old boy and his 53-year-old mother and forcing the evacuation of 70 residents. President Nicușor Dan called it the most serious security incident on Romanian soil since Russia's 2022 invasion, ordered Russia's consulate general in Constanța closed and the consul general expelled, and Foreign Minister Oana Țoiu asked NATO to accelerate anti-drone deliveries. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte pledged to defend "every inch" of allied territory and the European Commission said Russia had "crossed yet another line," even as President Vladimir Putin claimed he did not know the drone's origin.

EU's six largest economies agree a blueprint for a 'Savings and Investment Union' to rival Wall Street

The finance ministers of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Poland -- the "E6" -- agreed at a Berlin mini-summit on the outline of a "Savings and Investment Union" meant to turn the EU into a market that can rival Wall Street and the City of London. The plan would upgrade the European Securities and Markets Authority into a single bloc-wide supervisor and channel some of the EUR11 trillion that EU households hold in cash savings into the economy. The six must now win at least nine more governments before presenting the deal to all EU finance ministers on June 12, with Ireland, Luxembourg and Cyprus already wary of a "two-speed Europe."

Trump threatens to 'blow up' Oman if it joins Iran in controlling the Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump warned this week that the United States would strike Oman if the sultanate moved to jointly regulate the Strait of Hormuz with Iran, telling reporters, "Oman will behave like everyone else, or we'll have to blow them up." The threat followed an Iranian state television report of an unofficial draft to let Tehran and Muscat co-manage traffic through the waterway, and it targets the Gulf's most trusted mediator between Washington and Tehran. Regional analysts called a US strike highly unlikely and the idea of Omani-Iranian joint control "unrealistic," saying Muscat has no interest in it and that an attack would gut Washington's diplomatic options across the region.

Russian drone hits Turkish-owned cargo ship leaving Odesa, injuring two crew as Ankara warns against Black Sea escalation

A Russian drone struck the Turkish-owned, Vanuatu-flagged cargo vessel ANT late on May 28 as it carried dry bulk from Odesa to Türkiye, injuring two Turkish crew members and setting the ship's superstructure on fire. Turkey's Foreign Ministry confirmed the injuries, said it was monitoring the two nationals through its consulate general in Odesa, and urged all parties to avoid "uncontrolled escalation" and protect civilian shipping in the Black Sea. Ukraine's navy said "the Russian Federation carried out a targeted attack on a Turkish vessel," and the strike came hours after Ukrainian sea drones hit three Russia-linked tankers off Turkey's northern coast.
