Russia accused of launching drone that hit apartment block in Romania, but Putin demands proof

A drone struck a residential building in Romania’s city of Galati near the Ukrainian border, injuring two people and triggering a fire after impact, authorities said on Friday. While Bucharest condemned the strike as an "irresponsible escalation" by Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin maintained that there was no evidence that the drone was Russian rather than Ukrainian.
