Ukraine Launches Large Drone Attack on Moscow During Russian Elections, Causing Damage and Casualties
On the final day of Russia's parliamentary elections, Ukraine launched a large-scale drone attack involving over 1,600 drones targeting Moscow and surrounding areas. The assault damaged a major oil refinery and a residential building, causing fires and evacuations. Russian authorities reported two deaths and around 20 injuries in the Moscow region. Moscow's mayor described the attack as an attempt to disrupt the elections, which Ukraine's President Zelensky praised as striking key oil and logistics facilities supporting Russia's war effort. Russia claimed to have intercepted most drones, while Ukraine continued to repel Russian strikes.
