Last night, the regime in Kiev made an attempt on Russian President Vladimir Putin's life by carrying out a UAV strike against Kremlin, the Kremlin press service said.







According to a statement issued by Kremlin, the two UAVs that were launched at Kremlin were disabled and downed by Russian security services with the help of "electronic warfare systems", and that this drone attack failed to inflict any damage or injury.


"As a result of the [drones] fall and the scattering of [their] fragments at the territory of the Kremlin, there were no casualties or material damage," the statement said.


The Russian president's press service has confirmed that Putin himself was not present at Kremlin during the time of this attack.


Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has also announced that the annual Victory Day parade held on May 9 at the Red Square in Moscow is going to proceed as planned this year.


Meanwhile, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said Wednesday what a ban on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in the city has been introduced today, with the only exception being made for UAVs "used by decisions of state authorities."


The mayor noted that the decision was made to prevent unauthorized use of UAVs, but did not make any reference to the attack on Kremlin last night.
