The United Nations Security Council convened an emergency meeting at Romania's request on Monday to brief members on the drone attack in Romania.
During the night of May 28-29, an armed drone exploded on the top floor of a residential building in Galati, a city in eastern Romania, injuring a woman and a child.
This marks the first time such an incident in Romania has resulted in casualties since the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
At the meeting, the Russian representative said that some Western countries and NATO were rushing to blame Russia before the facts had been established, using the incident to stoke anti-Russian sentiment.
Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the UN, called on all interested parties to exercise restraint.
"We hope that all parties concerned will remain calm and exercise restraint, clarify the facts, dispel doubts, and resolve disputes through dialog and communication, avoid misunderstandings and misjudgments, and prevent the situation from escalating. This incident is a result of the spillover effects of the Ukraine crisis," said Fu.
Fu said China hopes that all parties will resume negotiations at an early date and reach a peace agreement.
A specialized team from Romania's Ministry of National Defense said on Sunday the drone that crashed and injured two Romanians was made in Russia, according to a press release by the ministry.
It said that following the incident in Galati County on Friday, a technical investigation concluded that the type of the object was an unmanned aerial system (UAS) and the model was GERAN-2, Russian-made, the press release said.
Romanian President Nicusor Dan wrote on Facebook on Sunday that the drone was "of Russian origin".
However, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on the same day that accusations against Russia over drones allegedly detected in European Union countries were unfounded and unsupported by evidence.
