TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Russian authorities have accused Kyiv of yet another attack on Moscow and its surroundings with drones. One of the drones on Tuesday hit the same building in the capital that was damaged by a drone just days ago in a similar attack early Sunday. Russian officials have claimed that the intensified attacks on the capital region reflect failures in Ukraine’s counteroffensive. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said over the weekend that “the war is gradually coming back to Russian territory.” But he stopped short of taking responsibility of the attacks. The repeated drone strikes underscore Moscow’s vulnerability as Russia’s war in Ukraine drags into its 18th month. Ukrainian officials said that Russian strikes also hit Kharkiv and a medical facility in the city of Kherson overnight.
