At least three people were killed in Ukraine following Russian attacks, one day after a Ukrainian drone strike reportedly killed a child in Moscow.
The latest incident comes as the conflict between Ukraine and Russia continues to intensify, with both sides carrying out missile and drone attacks against each other's territory.
Russian officials said the drone attack on Moscow was among the most significant strikes on the Russian capital since the war began, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure.
In response, Russian forces launched additional attacks on targets in Ukraine, resulting in at least three deaths and injuries to several others, according to local authorities.
The Kremlin has stated that it will continue military operations in response to attacks on Russian territory. Ukrainian officials, meanwhile, say their strikes are aimed at weakening Russia's military capabilities and infrastructure supporting the war effort.
The exchange of attacks highlights the ongoing escalation of the conflict despite diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving a ceasefire or negotiated settlement.
Security analysts say the latest violence underscores the challenges facing peace initiatives, as both sides continue to pursue military objectives while negotiations remain uncertain.
