A Russian drone hit an apartment block in Romania causing a fire and wounding two people, officials say.
The incident happened on Friday in the town of Galati – close to Romania’s eastern border with Ukraine and Moldova.
Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte said “Russia’s reckless behaviour is a danger to us all”, while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Russia’s “war of aggression had crossed yet another line”.
Russian drones have strayed across Romania’s border a number of times during the four-year war with Ukraine, but it is the first time citizens from the Nato country have been hurt. Russia has yet to comment on the incident.

An inquest has opened into the deaths of three sisters whose bodies were recovered from the sea off the coast of Brighton. The case has led to rampant speculation online, particularly after it emerged that a widely shared image provided by family members appeared to be AI-generated.
From unfounded conspiracies about serial killers, to a broader debate over the handling of cases involving black people, it has captivated TikTok sleuths, some of whom are even turning on each other.
On this episode of Top Comment, Marianna and Matt discuss why the case is receiving so much attention, and how race has played a leading role in the discourse.

The government of Iran has restored some access to the internet this week, after a lengthy blackout imposed on and off, for most of this year. Many Iranians are celebrating the move, which has allowed some people to contact friends and family members abroad for the first time in weeks. It could also be a lifeline for Iranians who depend on digital platforms to earn a living.
There is speculation that the move could be intended to show US President Donald Trump that the regime is willing to make some compromises at home.
But digital monitoring groups say the level of internet access is still poorer than it was before Tehran imposed its blackouts, first as a response to mass protests in January, and again at the start of the war with the US and Israel. Access to some sites is still blocked and analysts say two-factor authentication is not available in Iran, impeding many people’s access to platforms like Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp.
Reha Kansara, from the BBC’s Global Disinformation Unit, tells us what restrictions Iranians still face, how people are trying to get around them, and how this partial restoration of internet access could play into the ceasefire talks between Tehran and Washington.

Why gang up on Facebook, why is not there a witch-hunt for Google, Amazon, Android, Apple or Microsoft, these are all involved in social media and before Facebook blew up there was always mainstream platforms like MySpace, Yahoo and Reddit equally capable of politically influencing, pressuring women to be perfect and censoring millions.
All these extremely bright people of fallen companies eventually go off and of course gravitated to the fast money, chasing market leaders like FACEBOOK for big cash contracts and all the small separate competitive companies have faulted along the way due to our choice (democracy) and this one giant corporation emerged, an inevitable platform monopoly funded by you through advertising.
The population of this planet decided the amalgamation not the platform, blame yourselves.
You are all responsible, not these super geeks because you like it🤷 much more than reality as it kind of sucks for millions most days and that is how it got in, it offered another reality to live in, because life does not happen as instantly and people are not really that charismatic or safe in real life.
Choice caused it, the horror is humans are addicted to socialising and it does not matter which medium is present.
