Explosion Seen Over Kremlin in Alleged Ukraine Drone Attack #shorts | VOA News

A video showing the moment a drone exploded above the Kremlin in Moscow in an alleged Ukraine drone attack against the Russian president was shared on Wednesday by numerous online news outlets.

The Kremlin claimed Wednesday that Ukraine launched two drones at Russian President Vladimir Putin’s residence overnight but that security services disabled them, and the Russian leader was not injured.

The Russian claim could not be immediately verified, and a Ukrainian official said the Kyiv government had nothing to do with any alleged drone attack on the Kremlin.

Moscow, in a statement, said some debris from the downing of the drones was scattered on the grounds of the Kremlin but there were no casualties.

The Kremlin said it “regards these actions as a planned terrorist attack and an attempt on the president,” and it reserved the right to retaliate. It said that “timely actions taken by the military and special services” had disabled the drones.

Putin was not in the Kremlin at the time of the incident, according to his spokesman, Dmitry Peskov.

U.S Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he could not verify the Kremlin reports. “I would take anything coming out of the Kremlin with a very large shaker of salt,” he said.
