Russia has claimed it stopped two drone assaults on Vladimir Putin’s presidential residence in a single day.
The Kremlin blamed Ukraine for what it referred to as a “terrorist act”.
It mentioned Russian navy and safety forces disabled the drones earlier than they might strike.
No victims or harm have been reported and Mr Putin was not injured, it added.
Ukraine newest – Putin ‘assassination try’ as Kremlin residence ‘attacked’
“On Wednesday night, the Kyiv regime made an attempt to strike using a UAV the Kremlin residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin,” it mentioned in a press release.
“Two unmanned aerial automobiles have been aimed on the Kremlin.
“As a result of timely actions taken by the military and special services with the use of radar warfare systems, the vehicles were disabled.”
Footage on Russian social media seems to indicate a plume of smoke rising over the Kremlin following the alleged assault.
Sky News has been unable to independently confirm the footage.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov informed Russian state information company RIA Novosti that Mr Putin was not within the Kremlin on the time and was working in Novo-Ogaryovo, exterior of Moscow.
The Kremlin added that Mr Putin’s schedule was unchanged.
There was no instant remark from Ukraine.
Military analyst Sean Bell informed Sky News that whereas Ukraine has been doing “a lot of activity with drones”, it “does feel odd that Ukraine would be so audacious as to mount something in Moscow”.
