The Kremlin said that the attack by Ukrainian drones on the Russian capital is Kyiv's response to the effective strike of the Russian Armed Forces on one of the decision-making centers in Ukraine, which was inflicted on Sunday.
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that the working day of the head of state began early due to the Ukrainian attack. Putin received direct information from the relevant departments, including the Ministry of Defense and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, as well as from the governor of the Moscow region Andrei Vorobyov and from the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
In addition, Peskov praised the actions of Russian air defense systems that repelled the Ukrainian attack.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, eight drones participated in the attack. All of them were amazed. Five shot down with a Pantsyr-S anti-aircraft missiles in the suburbs. Three more were knocked off course by means of electronic warfare.
