Russian President Vladimir Putin was not injured in the overnight drone attacks on the Kremlin, according to Moscow, adding that Russia considers the drone attacks to be an assassination attempt on the President’s life, according to Russia Today. According to Moscow, Ukraine launched two drone attacks overnight with the intention of assassinating Vladimir Putin.
“The head of state was not in the Kremlin at the time of the “Ukrainian UAV attack” on Tuesday night,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, adding that Vladimir Putin is working from his home near Moscow and his schedule remains unchanged.
The drones were destroyed using electronic warfare measures with no casualties or damage, according to the Kremlin, which also warned that the Russian side reserves the right to retaliate as it sees fit.
“The Russian Federation’s President was not injured as a result of this terrorist act.” “His work schedule has not changed; it is still the same,” Russia Today reported.
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, is currently working from his bunker at his home in Novo-Ogaryovo, a suburb of Moscow, according to Dmitry Peskov, who spoke to RIA Novosti.
The incident will not disrupt the Victory Day parade on Red Square on May 9, according to a Kremlin spokesperson.
“The Kremlin was targeted by two unmanned aerial vehicles.” The devices were disabled as a result of timely actions taken by the military and special services using radar warfare systems, according to a Kremlin statement.
