Dueling attacks on capitals: Russia and Ukraine say they repelled air assaults on Moscow and Kyiv

Authorities in Moscow said the Russian capital was attacked by drones Tuesday. Separately, Russia launched a pre-dawn air raid on Ukraine's capital, killing at least one person and again sending Kyiv's residents scrambling into shelters to escape a relentless wave of daylight and nighttime bombardments, Ukrainian officials said.

"This morning the Kyiv regime carried out a terrorist attack with drones on targets in the city of Moscow. Eight drones were used in the attack. All of the enemy drones were downed," Russia's defense ministry said on social media Tuesday.

And Ukraine's air force said on social media that, "Between 11:30 pm and 4:30 am, Russian occupation troops attacked Ukraine" with 31 Shahed drones, 29 of which were shot down, "almost all of them near the capital and in the Kyiv skies" in Russia's third attack on the capital in the past 24 hours.
