The Kremlin says it shot down two drones launched by Ukraine and accused Kyiv of attempting to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Two unmanned vehicles were aimed at the Kremlin… the devices were put out of action,” the Kremlin says in a statement, calling the operation “a planned terrorist act and an attempt on the life of the President of the Russian Federation.”
