MOSCOW – Russia accused Ukraine on Wednesday of attacking the Kremlin with drones overnight in a failed bid to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Kremlin said two drones had been used in the alleged attack on Mr Putin’s residence in the walled Kremlin citadel, but had been disabled by electronic defences. “Two unmanned aerial vehicles were aimed at the Kremlin. As a result of timely actions taken by the military and special services with the use of radar warfare systems, the devices were put out of action,” the Kremlin said.
Baza, a Telegram channel with links to Russia’s law enforcement agencies, posted an unverified video showing a flying object approaching the dome of the Kremlin Senate building overlooking Red Square and exploding in an intense burst of light just before reaching it.
