MOSCOW, May 4. /TASS/. Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that he did not know exactly where the drones that attacked the Kremlin early on Wednesday morning had been launched from. According to him, investigators will be looking into this matter.

"I can't say [anything about] that; I don't know. The investigation will be handling that issue," Peskov said on Thursday, commenting on speculation that the drones had been launched from inside Russia. When asked whether he could give any technical details about the type of drones used, the spokesman replied that such information did not come under the purview of his job.

When asked to comment on the theory that the drone attack on the Kremlin may have been launched from the territory of a Russian constituent region, such as Moscow, Peskov also noted that this question should not be addressed to him. "That's a question for our investigators, for the special services," he explained. "We hope that they will be able to shed light on all of this in due course," he said.

Early Wednesday morning, Kiev attempted to carry out a strike on the official residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin inside the Kremlin grounds, the Russian presidential press service said. Two unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were launched and targeted at the Kremlin. Russian military and security officers promptly took them out, disabling them using electronic warfare systems. Putin was not harmed and is carrying on with his work as usual.

The Kremlin regards the incident as a premeditated terrorist attack and an assassination attempt on the Russian president. Russia retains the right to take retaliatory measures when and how it sees fit.
