Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened Kiev with retaliation after Saturday’s drone attack on the Russian Volga city of Kazan.
“Whoever tries to destroy something here will face many times the destruction on his territory and will regret what he tried in our country,” the Kremlin head said during a televised video conference.
On Saturday morning, six Ukrainian drones hit residential buildings in Kazan and a seventh hit an industrial facility. No injuries were officially reported as a result of the attack, while media reports indicated that three people suffered cuts from shattered window glass.
Kazan is located more than 1,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. Although Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the attack, it is believed to be a response to a Russian missile attack on Kiev.
