Russia attacked several Ukrainian cities with explosive drones overnight. It called the attack payback for what it claims was an alleged attempt by Ukraine to attack the Kremlin using drones.
The Kremlin claimed the attack was an attempt by Ukraine to assassinate President Vladimir Putin and, on Thursday morning, Russia's government accused the U.S. of planning it.
In Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Thursday dismissed the pleas of ignorance from both Ukraine and the U.S. as"ridiculous." Russia unleashed its own wave of drones on Ukraine in retaliation for the alleged drone attack. Ukrainian officials said the country's air defense systems destroyed 18 of 24 of the unmanned aerial vehicles, including all of those headed for the capital Kyiv. It was the third time the capital had been targeted in four days.
