Several drones were sent towards the Russian capital Moscow in the morning hours. Two buildings were hit, but no one was injured.
– They are trying to scare Russia, says Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He further says that Russia’s air defense functioned well, and promises to strengthen air defense over Moscow.
No one has so far taken responsibility for the drones, and it is also unclear exactly how many there are.
Russia has accused Ukraine of being behind it, which Ukraine denies.
Vladimir Putin claims that the drone attacks were aimed at civilians in Moscow.
NTB writes that he also mentions “threats from the Ukrainian Zaporizhzhya power plant”. The power plant is under Russian control.
Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and took control of the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea already in 2014.
Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs says on Tuesday that it reserves the right to take “serious measures” after the drone attacks on the capital.
– Assurances from NATO that the Kyiv regime will not launch attacks deep into Russian territory turn out to be completely hypocritical, a statement on Tuesday afternoon said.
In recent days, Russia has carried out a series of large-scale attacks against Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. On Tuesday night, one person was killed and several others injured in the Ukrainian capital.
