The Kremlin claimed Wednesday that Ukraine tried to strike the Kremlin with drones overnight but said the attack on the heart of the Russian government was "successfully repulsed."
Russian President Vladimir Putin was not injured in the purported attack, which was reported by Russian state media agency TASS on Wednesday. The Kremlin provided no evidence to back up the claim of an attempted attack, however.
Ukrainian officials denied any involvement in the alleged attack and said it might suggest Russia is planning a large-scale "terrorist" attack against Ukraine in the coming days.
The United States said it was unable to validate the Russian accusation.
