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.
Poland said it will send more troops to protect its border with Belarus to protest what it described as the violation of its airspace by two Belarusian helicopters. The Belarus Defense Ministry denied it did so.
