Russia says Ukraine again attempted a drone strike in Moscow on Tuesday targeting the exact same building that was hit on Sunday.

Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelensky, have suggested that these attacks are meant to shatter any remaining sense of calm in the Russian capital.

"Moscow is rapidly getting used to a full-fledged war," said Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Zelensky.

In the early hours of Wednesday, Kyiv was met with a barrage of drone attacks.

Here's what else you need to know:

• Cross-border attacks: Both Ukraine and Russia reported assaults aimed at each other on Tuesday. Moscow said Kyiv again attempted a drone strike in its capital. Kyiv accused Russia of shelling a medical facility in the southern port city of Kherson, killing a doctor and wounding a nurse.
• Civilians caught in the crossfire: Two ballistic missiles struck the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih — Zelensky's hometown — on Monday, killing six people and wounding dozens more. Further south, in Kherson, Russian shelling on residential areas killed four people, a top adviser to Zelensky said. Local officials said Russia had intensified shelling on the city to provide cover for rotating troops.
• F-16 training concerns: The US is still waiting for European officials to submit a final plan for training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets, which the US will have to authorize before the program can actually begin this month, officials familiar with the matter told CNN.
• Ukrainian children in Russia: More than 700,000 Ukrainian children have been taken to Russia since the beginning of the war, Russia's ombudsperson for children's rights said in a report published Monday. The report claims most of the minors arrived with parents or other relatives. The ombudswoman, Maria Lvova-Belova, and Russian leader Vladimir Putin have been accused by the International Criminal Court of the war crime of unlawful deportation and transfer of children during the war. The Hague issued arrest warrants for them in March
