Claim 3: “Romania says Russian drone targeting Ukraine crashes in apartment, killing two”
MISLEADING
While multiple sources confirm a Russian drone crashed into an apartment building in Romania, they consistently report that two people were WOUNDED/INJURED, not killed. The claim of 'killing two' is directly contradicted by the evidence stating 'wounding 2' and 'injuring two people'.
