This spraying could be related to a medical problem such as a UTI or bladder stones. I would have them both seen by a vet, as that is the only way to know which one of them sprayed and if there is a medical cause behind it. Having them seen by a vet tomorrow is best. If a medical cause is ruled out, the vet can discuss behavioral training you can do with them. I hope this helps!

While this might be behavioral, the first step is to see your veterinarian to rule out a medical problem. Urinary tract inflammation or cystitis is common in cats and treatment is often required. Urinary tract infections can occur as well. Your vet will probably recommend a urine sample. If the urine is normal you can then discuss changes to make to the environment as outline here: https://indoorpet.osu.edu/cats/problemsolving/spraying-and-marking

If this is a new behavior, this can be a sign of a medical illness such as feline idiopathic cystitis or bladder stones. I'd take Asap into the vet first thing in the morning for a health check. As a side note, I really recommend Skout's Honor. I find it works quite well with urine.
