**In an attempt to kill Putin?**

[**Nikkei Asia**](https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Ukraine-war/Ukraine-war-Free-to-read/Ukraine-latest-Russia-alleges-drone-strike-on-Kremlin-by-Kyiv-in-bid-to-kill-Putin)

**9:15 p.m.** Russia accuses Ukraine of attacking the Kremlin with two drones overnight in a failed bid to kill President Vladimir Putin. **The Kremlin says the drones were disabled by electronic defenses and that there were no casualties.**

***“We regard these actions as a planned terrorist act and an attempt on the president’s life, carried out on the eve of Victory Day, the May 9 Parade, at which the presence of foreign guests is also planned,”*** the Kremlin says.

The Kremlin says Russia reserves the right to retaliate.

 **Could have been drones? Could have been disabled by electronic defences?** **Might have been some sort of trial run?** **Anyone?**

Chief Foreign-Affairs Correspondent of The Wall Street Journal
