Attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
This was confirmed by the Kremlin's press service, explaining that in the night between Tuesday and Wednesday two Ukrainian drones were shot down in the sky over Moscow which would have targeted the leader himself . Putin, it is specified, was unharmed and, in any case, at that moment he was not at his residence in the Kremlin, where some fragments of the aircraft were recovered.
The wreckage of another drone was later found today about one hundred kilometers southeast of Moscow in the Kolomna area, in a forest and in the same area where another drone had crashed last February in what the governor, Andrei Vorobyov, he called "a failed attack".
Russia assures that "retaliatory measures" will be taken against Kiev.
For their part, the Ukrainian authorities deny having ordered the raid. Ukraine "has nothing to do" with the drone attack on the Kremlin, the Kiev presidency said.
Also during the night, Ukrainian drones also attacked a military airport in the Bryansk region of Russia. According to what has been learned, two were destroyed by small arms and two others exploded on the territory of the airfield. Another drone was not found.
Russia has also sent kamikaze drones against targets in Ukraine . This was reported by the Ukrainian Air Force, underlining that 26 "Iranian-made Shahed" drones were launched over different regions and cities, including Kiev, of which 21 were shot down. As for the capital, the air defense destroyed all drones and there were no casualties or damage.
