The drones the Kremlin says were intended to assassinate President Vladimir Putin in a late-night attack were reported by residents outside Moscow before they struck—but security forces shrugged off the sightings, according to a new report.
reports that residents of the Moscow region outside the capital phoned emergency services to warn about the incoming drones, but police dismissed the calls as unfounded panic. “The reports were not handled properly,” an unnamed source was quoted as telling the outlet.
The source also suggested security forces may have been too busy celebrating the May holidays to pay much attention. “Because of the late time and May holidays, there was no proper immediate reaction,” even when security services did begin to sound the alarm about the drones, the source said. The Kremlin has accused Ukraine of carrying out the alleged assassination attempt—on orders from Washington.

Ukraine denies Russian claim Kyiv sent drones to hit KremlinRussia claims it foiled a Ukrainian assassination attempt using drones against President Vladimir Putin, denouncing the alleged attack as a ‘’terrorist’’ act and promising retaliation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denied it, saying, “We don't attack Putin or Moscow.” Ukraine denied any involvement, saying Moscow could use it for further escalation of the war. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying Putin wasn’t in the Kremlin at the time of the nighttime attack. There was no independent verification of the reported attack, which Russia authorities said occurred overnight but presented no evidence to support it. Nor did officials say why it took more than 12 hours to report. If true, the alleged attack is a significant escalation in the 14-month conflict.
