A video taken of the incident posted on social media shows two UAVs aimed at the Kremlin that were promptly shot down.

A Ukrainian official stated the incident suggested Moscow was preparing a major terrorist provocation, reported Reuters. Putin’s office said Russia reserved the right to retaliate and that it regards the incident as a planned act of terrorism and an attempt on the president’s life.
