Witnesses say the three were killed by falling debris while trying to enter the shelter, in what was the highest casualty toll from a single Russian attack on the capital over the past month.
Russia's defence ministry said it had repelled three cross-border attacks on Thursday near the town of Shebekino, and it accused Ukraine of using what it said were "terrorist formations" to carry out attempted attacks on Russian civilians.
Moscow blames Ukrainian "terrorists" for targeting Russia's western border. Russian officials say the group of fighters is a proxy run by Ukraine. A similar group that calls itself the Freedom of Russia Legion also announced a plan to launch a cross-border raid. Some Russian media outlets said that Ukrainian forces made an attempt to cross the border but were repelled by Russian troops.
