Ukrainian drones hit Moscow on final day of Russian voting
Ukrainian drone waves struck Moscow and the surrounding region early Sunday, killing two people and setting an oil refinery ablaze, Russian officials said, as Russians cast ballots on the last day of parliamentary elections. A Moscow mayor described it as the largest attack on the capital since 2022.
Ukrainian drones struck Moscow and the surrounding region early Sunday, killing two people and setting an oil refinery on fire, according to Russian officials, as voters went to the polls on the final day of parliamentary elections.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the attack was the largest on Moscow since the Kremlin launched its offensive in Ukraine in 2022. He said it involved some 1,600 drones, of which 450 were aimed directly at the capital.
Images showed a large hole in a multi-storey apartment building on the outskirts of the city, while another showed black smoke pouring from what appeared to be an oil refinery.
The strikes came on the last day of tightly controlled parliamentary elections that are widely expected to deliver another win for the ruling United Russia party, which backs President Vladimir Putin.
Details of the attack, including the death toll and the number of drones, were provided by Russian officials and could not be independently verified from the information available.
