Dmitry Medvedev said drone incidents in Europe "will continue to happen" after Romania reported a Russian drone crashed into an apartment block during an attack on neighboring Ukraine.
NATO had accused Moscow of reckless behavior and vowed to defend every inch of allied territory, while Medvedev said it was still unclear whose drone it was and cast European outrage as participation in war against Russia.
Medvedev said EU citizens would no longer "sleep peacefully" and argued such incidents were especially likely where drones and parts are produced for Ukraine.
The Kremlin said Vladimir Putin had been informed, and Russia's Foreign Ministry said it would respond swiftly after Romania moved to close the Russian consulate in Constanta.
