Russia’s defense ministry warned Friday it will intensify attacks on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv in response to strikes on Russian soil, after accusing Ukraine of targeting Russian border towns.

Russia hit a “military” factory outside Kyiv late Thursday using Kalibr sea-based long-range missiles, it added.
