On 3 May 2023, amidst the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, two explosive drones allegedly targeted the Kremlin in Moscow and were shot down. President Vladimir Putin was not present in the building at the time and no one was injured in the incident.

The Kremlin accused Ukraine of perpetrating the incident and called it an "act of terrorism" and an assassination attempt. Ukrainian officials denied involvement, while U.S. officials said it was likely that a Ukrainian intelligence or special military unit was behind the attack.
