Russia today said, it will respond to any Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory by striking Kyiv with more missiles. Russian Defence Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said, the number and scale of attacks will go up if its own settlements become targets.

The warning came as Russia announced a missile strike on a military factory near Kyiv, which it claimed was in response to a Ukrainian helicopter attack on a Russian village.

Meanwhile, Kyiv has denied the attack and accused Russia of staging the incident to stir up anti-Ukrainian hysteria.
