Russia claims it foiled an attack by Ukrainian drones on the Kremlin on Wednesday, calling it an unsuccessful assassination attempt against President Vladimir Putin and promising retaliation for what it termed a “terrorist” act.
The Ukrainian President denies it, saying his country did not attack President Putin or the Moscow.
President Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, speaking to Russia’s state news agency RIA Novosti, says the Russian President wasn’t in the Kremlin at the time and was at his Novo-Ogaryovo residence outside Moscow.

There was no independent verification of the purported attack, which Russia authorities said occurred overnight but presented no evidence to support it. Questions also arose as to why it took the Kremlin hours to report the incident and why videos of it also surfaced later in the day.
