The Kremlin has accused Ukraine of attempting to assassinate Russian president Vladimir Putin in a drone attack.
State newswire Ria Novosti on Wednesday reported that Russia’s military and secret services acted in a “timely” fashion to shoot down two Ukrainian drones that attacked the Kremlin overnight.
The Kremlin said in a statement that the alleged strike was “a planned terrorist attack and attempted assassination of the president of Russia”.
Putin was unharmed and no casualties or damage were sustained during the alleged attack, according to the Kremlin.
It was not immediately clear whether the alleged attack happened. Pro-Kremlin social media channels posted videos of what appeared to be anti-aircraft fire above the Kremlin late at night.
