Russia hits Ukraine with explosives after Kremlin claims of an assassination attempt on Putin in a drone attack.
Air raid alarms sounded in Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia early Thursday, a day after the Kremlin claimed that Ukraine attempted to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin in a drone attack.
At least two explosions were heard in Kyiv, and a Russian missile strike was repulsed by the air defense system, the city’s military administration said on Telegram.
No casualties were reported.
Russia claimed Ukraine launched an attempt to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin with a drone strike on the Kremlin overnight on Wednesday, an extraordinary allegation that was met with forceful denials in Kyiv.
The Kremlin said the attack was foiled and the alleged drones destroyed.
A video that appeared on social media shows a bright flash and a puff of smoke over a part of the Kremlin, the official residence of the Russian president and the most potent symbol of power in Moscow.
In a statement, the Kremlin said it regarded the alleged attack as terrorism and a deliberate attempt on Putin’s life. “Russia reserves the right to take retaliatory measures where and when it sees fit,” it added.

Ukraine denied involvement in the alleged strike. “As President Zelensky has stated numerous times before, Ukraine uses all means at its disposal to free its own territory, not to attack others,” the Ukrainian presidential spokesman, Sergiy Nykyforov said on Wednesday.
“What happened in Moscow is obviously about escalating the mood on the eve of May 9.” That day is known as “Victory Day” inside Russia, commemorating the Soviet Union’s role in defeating Nazi Germany in World War II.
“It’s a trick to be expected from our opponents,” he said.
In the wake of the drone attack on the Kremlin, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev says there are no options left but to eliminate the Ukrainian President.
“After today’s terrorist attack, there are no options left aside for the physical elimination of Zelenskyy and his cabal,” said Medvedev, as quoted by i24NEWS.
