A man was filmed launching Molotov cocktails against the walls of the Kremlin in a firebomb attack against the Russian fortress.
The clip shows the unknown assailant shows attempting to throw the homemade explosive device over the walls of President Vladimir Putin's official residence.
Filmed by a man inside a moving vehicle, the video was posted to TikTok by user @den_di1232 and has since been shared widely across Russian media channels, the Mirror reports.
As the vandal tried to throw the bottle over the wall of the highly-secured headquarters, it explodes against the bricks in a small fireball - leaving behind a large scorch mark.
Several smaller blazes were also seen on the grass beside the wall.
The clip - which is just seconds long - has already racked up 250,000 views on TikTok.
Its caption reads, "Moscow, Kremlin" in Russian.
The building is a fortified government office in the heart of Moscow.
It is the official residence of Russian president Vladimir Putin and the country's political hub.
The attack was shared by local media outlets, including Belarusian media channel NEXTA Live.
The Kremlin itself is a collection of buildings and is regarded much like 10 Downing Street or the White House in America.
It is a large compound consisting of palaces, cathedrals and a large perimeter wall.
The site's history goes back hundreds of years, with the central Grand Kremlin Palace the former residence of the Tsars who used to rule the country before the communist Soviet regime.
It is now the official home of the President of the Russian Federation, a role currently filled by Vladimir Putin.
‘Kremlin’ means fortress inside a city, an accurate description of the castle-like complex nestled in the heart of Moscow.
The Kremlin is the seat of political power in Russia and its name is often used to refer to the Russian government. This means that much of the policy from the Russian government can be said to come directly from the Kremlin.
Much as we in the UK would describe something said by Boris Johnson or his government as coming from 'Downing Street' or 'Number 10', the same can be said for the Kremlin in Russia.
Inside the government office today, Vladimir Putin has started a witch-hunt of his most trusted inner circle to find the “guilty men” responsible for the failure of his war strategy.
The Russian president is said to be “incandescent” as his military plans were leaked to the West, who shared it with his Ukrainian enemies.
The failure is seen as one of the main reasons several of his top generals and elite forces have been eliminated during the four weeks of warfare.
Putin is said to be growing wary of his close ally and vacation friend Sergei Shoigu, Russia’s defence minister, who is in overall charge of the stalling military operation.
And just yesterday it emerged that friends of Putin's alleged lover have been begging her to visit the Kremlin to persuade him to end the war.
Former gymnast Alina Kabaeva is believed to be holed up in a luxury mountain mansion in Switzerland as calls mount for her to be expelled.
The 38-year-old, who is rumoured to have four children with the Russian President, is not among the figures close to Putin who are facing sanctions.
Pals are said to be hopeful that Kabaeva can persuade him to bring the bloodshed to an end.
A source told Page Six : “Alina’s female friends are begging her to fly to Putin and persuade him to end the war.
