Russia Vows to Soon Respond to Ukraine Attack on its Soil

"We strongly condemn these barbaric terrorist acts aimed at destroying civilian infrastructure, killing and intimidating civilians," the senior Russian diplomat said commenting on the Ukrainian armed forces' missile strike on Kursk and drone attacks on a number of other regions of the Russian Federation.

"We have no doubt that the organizers and perpetrators of these crimes, including their foreign curators, will be held accountable for them. Russia's tough response will not take long," TASS quoted her as saying.

Zakharova also stressed that Ukrainian missile attacks and drone attacks on Russian regions are clearly terrorist in nature.

She once again called on international organizations to condemn the terrorist attacks by Ukrainian militants, adding, "Although we are sure that the response will be a shamefaced silence from the relevant structures."
