LONDON, June 3 (Reuters) - Britain's ⁠foreign ministry said on Wednesday it had summoned Russia's ambassador after ​a Russian drone last week struck a ‌residential building in NATO member Romania.

Foreign minister Yvette Cooper has condemned the incident, ⁠which occurred during a ⁠Russian attack on Ukraine and injured two people in the Romanian city of Galati, and said Britain ‌stood united with allies to defend NATO ⁠territory.

"Russia’s latest brutal ‌bombardment of civilians in ​Ukraine comes afters its violation of NATO airspace last week, hitting a ‌residential building in Romania," ​Britain's foreign ⁠ministry said in a statement.

"Injuring innocent ‌civilians on ⁠NATO territory is unacceptable and a stark reminder of the threat that Ukrainian ​civilians are ‌having to endure on a daily basis."
