How will Putin respond to ‘assassination attempt’ in Moscow?

Russian officials say Putin was not present at the time and that there were no other casualties. Video of the aftermath appeared to show part of the building’s roof on fire, right beneath the fluttering Russian flag. Moscow says Ukraine is behind the drone attacks, though an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denied the country’s military or intelligence services were responsible. “If they did it, the main reason would have been to provoke (Putin) to do something more than the Russian state has done (so far),” he said. The bombing was an embarrassment for Moscow, but also a military setback, since Crimea is a supply hub and staging area for Russian forces.
