Kremlin drone attack: Russia accuses Ukraine of trying to assassinate Vladimir Putin in strike on residence

Russia has accused Ukraine of attempting to assassinate Vladimir Putin in a drone attack on the Kremlin. Ukraine said it had nothing to do with the drone strike after the Kremlin claimed two Ukrainian devices were downed by Russian defences on Tuesday night.

The state run RIA news agency has reported that the Kremlin is considering “the right to take retaliatory measures where and when it sees fit." Neither the Russian President nor his schedule was affected by the attack, the Kremlin said, with Mr Putin’s spokesperson saying the president was not in the residence at the time.
