Drones strike both Moscow and Kyiv in ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

A drone attack hit Moscow, damaging two residential buildings, just hours after another barrage of Russian airstrikes on Kyiv. Kyiv has been under a relentless assault of near-nightly bombings in recent weeks with Moscow seemingly intent on weakening or destroying Ukraine’s air defenses ahead of a much-anticipated counteroffensive. While Ukraine denied involvement in the drone attack on Moscow, the dueling strikes on the capital cities appeared to mark a threshold moment, as residents of Russia’s capital experienced direct consequences of their nation’s brutal hostilities for the first time.
