″There was a loud ‘bang’ from somewhere nearby, like a giant bolt of lightning.″
Russia claimed responsibility for Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the attack as an “obvious act of terrorism,” calling it “threatening citizens and attacking residential buildings.”
At the same time, he also delivered a warning message saying that “Ukraine’s provocation will induce a corresponding response from Russia.”

″They threatened Russia and Russian citizens and attacked residential buildings. This is clear evidence of an act of terrorism.″
In response to the criticism that the capital’s air defense network had been breached, President Putin replied, “There are still tasks to be done, but the air defense system is functioning normally.”
Ukraine, on the other hand, denied the rumors behind it.
President’s adviser Mikhailo Podolyak said he was “pleased that these attacks are increasing” but “had nothing to do with the attacks”.

″It is fun to watch and predict the rise in attacks, but we are not directly involved in these attacks.″
Previously, Russia launched its largest air strike since the beginning of the war, pouring over 100 drones and cruise missiles for two days from the 28th.
The drones are said to have flown from a direction southwest of Ukraine, relative to Moscow.
In particular, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who predicted a counterattack in the spring, recently announced that he had decided on the timing of the advance, some analysts say that this attack is a signal of a counterattack in the spring, which will be a watershed in the war.
