Russia reserves the right to take "tough retaliatory measures", the foreign ministry said on Monday, after it accused Ukraine of attacking Moscow and the Crimean peninsula with drones.
Russia's defence ministry said earlier on Monday that Ukraine fired 17 drones at Crimea overnight, while a drone strike on Moscow damaged buildings.
"The West's intent on further aggravating the situation behind the impudent act of Ukrainian neo-Nazis ... The Russian side reserves the right to take tough retaliatory measures," the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry added that drone attacks had no sense from military point of view and called another example of "use of terrorist methods."
