A drone that smashed into a Romanian apartment building set off furious condemnation of Russia by Romania and its NATO allies on May 29 but Russian President Putin insisted there was no evidence to blame his country. Two people were injured in the first drone hit on a residential building outside Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. Romania called the incident a \"serious and irresponsible escalation\" by its neighbour, but Putin said Russia \"has never threatened and is not threatening European countries\".
