Russia shot down two Ukrainian drones over the Moscow region and jammed a third, part of an intensifying campaign against Kremlin targets in recent days that’s having a bigger impact on Russian forces in Ukraine’s occupied south. The jammed drone in Moscow crashed into the 21st floor of the same office tower in a commercial district that was struck two days ago, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Telegram.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy reinforced a plea for long-range missiles, saying that a missile strike on his hometown of Kryvyi Rih that killed six — including a child and her mother — originated in occupied Crimea.
