Russia accuses Ukraine of failed assassination attempt

A drone was used to try and kill Vladimir Putin, and the Kremlin has vowed revenge

 
Russia has accused Ukraine of a failed attempt to assassinate President Vladimir Putin in a drone attack on the Kremlin, and vowed revenge.

Kyiv denied any role in the alleged strike.

Video appears to show a flying object nearing the Kremlin’s domed spires before exploding.

The Kremlin said Russia reserved the right to retaliate, and Russian hardliners demanded swift retribution against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In a statement, the Kremlin said, “two unmanned aerial vehicles were aimed at the Kremlin. As a result of timely actions taken by the military and special services with the use of radar warfare systems, the devices were put out of action.”

It said fragments of drones were scattered in the Kremlin grounds but there were no injuries or damage. Putin himself was safe.

At a news conference with leaders of Scandinavian nations in Helsinki, Ukrainian President Zelensky denied his country tried to killed the Russian president and suggested going after Putin was the job of an international court.

“You know I can repeat this message and I think it will at least, will be understandable for everybody,” Zelensky said. “We don’t attack Putin, or Moscow.

“We fight on our territory. We are defending our villages and cities. We don’t have, you know, enough weapons for this.

“That’s why we don’t use it anywhere. For us, that is the deficit. We can’t spend it. And we didn’t attack Putin. We leave it to tribunal.”

The purported strike is not the first time Moscow accused Kyiv of launching drones into territory it controls since Russian forces invaded Ukraine more than a year ago.

Last week, the Russian-installed mayor of Sevastopol in Russian-occupied Crimea blamed a fire at a fuel depot on a Ukrainian drone strike.
Smoke was seen billowing from another fire in the Crimean port of Krasnodar, which Russian authorities said was hit by a Ukrainian drone.

Ukraine typically declines to claim responsibility for attacks on Russia or Russian-annexed Crimea, though Kyiv officials have frequently celebrated such attacks with cryptic or mocking remarks.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he cannot validate Russia’s accusation that Ukraine tried to assassinate Putin in a drone attack, and added he would take anything coming from the Kremlin with a “large shaker of salt.”

Israel seeks to damage Iran’s Fordow facility before halting operations; Trump suggests US knows Khamenei’s location, avoids assassination.

In Short:
Israel aims to damage Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility and is seeking US assistance, despite uncertainty about American military involvement. Tensions rise as President Trump holds national security meetings, contemplating military options against Iran.

Israel plans to continue its operations against Iran until the Fordow nuclear facility is significantly damaged. The facility, located underground near Qom, is crucial for uranium enrichment.

Israel acknowledges that its own military capabilities cannot reach the depths of Fordow, but it is relying on the United States for support.

Israel’s National Security Advisor, Tzachi Hanegbi, indicated ongoing discussions with US officials but expressed uncertainty regarding US involvement in military actions.

Iran’s nuclear weapon

Many in Israel and the West suspect that Fordow is part of Iran’s nuclear weapon development, a claim that Iran denies.

President Donald Trump left the G7 summit early due to this ongoing conflict and convened a national security meeting at the White House.

The meeting, which lasted nearly two hours, included key security figures such as CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Reports suggest that Trump is considering the use of a “bunker buster” bomb against Fordow.
