(Bloomberg) — Several residential buildings in Moscow were hit by drones early Tuesday as Ukraine was subjected to more Russian air strikes.

Ukraine’s capital Kyiv faced its 17th Russian attack this month alone as Moscow intensified its campaign of bombing ahead of an expected Ukrainian counteroffensive. At least one person was killed and four were injured in strikes by Russian drones, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on his Telegram channel. Air defenses shot down 29 out of 31 Iranian-made drones, mostly directed at the capital, Ukrainian officials said.

Russian forces did not try to advance in the direction of Bakhmut and Avdiivka in the past 24 hour period, the Ukrainian General Staff said on Facebook. Areas around these cities were shelled by Russian artillery and aviation.
