“Russian air defenses stopped eight drones converging on Moscow, officials said Tuesday, in an attack that authorities blamed on Ukraine, while Russia pursued its relentless bombardment of Kyiv with a third assault on the city in 24 hours,” the AP reports.
“The Russian defense ministry said five drones were shot down and the systems of three others were jammed, causing them to veer off course. It called the incident a ‘terrorist attack’ by the ‘Kyiv regime.’”
New York Times: “The dueling strikes reflected the dialed-up tension and shifting priorities ahead of Ukraine’s expected counteroffensive. Ukraine has increasingly been reaching far into Russia-held territory, while Moscow has been adjusting its tactics in an effort to inflict significant damage on Kyiv.”
