“Explosive night in Iran,” Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted on Sunday. “Did warn you.”
A US official told Reuters that Israel appears to have been behind the attack.
Iran has acknowledged sending drones to Russia but says they were sent before Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine last year. Moscow denies its forces use Iranian drones in Ukraine, although many have been shot down and recovered there.
