US denies Russia's claims it was involved in Kremlin drone attack
BBC, 05 May 2023
The US has denied Russian claims it masterminded an alleged drone attack on the Kremlin on Wednesday aimed at assassinating President Vladimir Putin.
A day after accusing Ukraine of carrying out the alleged attack, Mr Putin's spokesman said it had been done with Washington's support.
US National Security spokesman John Kirby called it a "ludicrous claim".
Ukraine has said it had nothing to do with the alleged attack.
Unverified footage on social media showed smoke rising over the Kremlin - a large government complex in central Moscow - early on Wednesday. A second video showed a small explosion above the site's Senate building.
