Moscow is hit by a large-scale drone attack, Putin reacts harshly
Moscow has been hit with a large-scale drone attack for the first time in the Ukraine war, marking a new point in the conflict that began 15 months ago.
The Kremlin has threatened to take the “harshest possible measures” in response to these attacks.
Russia continues to attack Ukraine with missiles and drones on an almost daily basis. The capital of Ukraine, Kiev, faced the third air attack in the last 24 hours on Tuesday morning, reports The Guardian, Videos posted on social media on Tuesday showed a low-flying drone exploding in a field outside Moscow, while others flew near houses in the city’s expensive Rublyovka district.
Russia’s interior minister said eight drones had attacked the city overnight, but Russian media close to the security services said the number was many times higher, with more than 30 drones involved in the attack.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has also reacted to this event.
“This is clearly a terrorist activity. They are following the path of trying to intimidate Russia, to intimidate the citizens of Russia…” he said.
