Wagner boss blames Russian military for drone attacks, US aid, nuclear plant attack ban

In a message posted on Telegram, the head of Russia's mercenary group pinpointed the failures of Russia's defence ministry that allowed the drones to reach Moscow.

"How dare you allow the drones to reach Moscow?" Prigizhin said in his regular aggressive tone.

“And what do ordinary people do when drones with explosives crash into their windows?” he continued.

Prigozhin has been a vocal critic of Russia's military and political elite, routinely claiming they were not doing enough to help his fighters in the battle for Bakhmut.

Russian President Vladimir Putin blamed Ukraine for the drone attacks, accusing the opposition of targeting civilians to evoke mass scare.

The Russian government has blamed the "terrorist attacks" on Ukraine, while Kyiv denies involvement.

Russia says there have been more attacks along its border with Ukraine

After Tuesday’s rare drone attack on Moscow, Russia is also accusing the Ukrainian army of shelling the town of Shebkino, located along the Russian-Ukrainian border, near Belgorod.

Images posted on Telegram show apartment blocks and private houses have been damaged and cars burned. Four people were injured, according to Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.

Ukraine has also carried out strikes in the occupied Luhansk region, according to Russian-installed officials.

Moscow-appointed officials said Ukrainian armed forces shelled the village of Karpaty, which killed five people and wounded around 19 more.
