Four people killed in Kyiv, two people killed in Moscow

In the Kyiv region of Ukraine, an overnight Russian attack claimed the lives of four individuals, including three young children. The victims were struck by a Russian drone when it targeted a private home, according to local emergency services. The region experienced over a day of hostile drone strikes, with 31 sites damaged across five districts, most severely in the Fastiv district.

Meanwhile, in Moscow, a series of drone attacks killed at least two people and damaged a major refinery, just days before Russia's parliamentary elections. Moscow's Mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, stated that over 1,600 drones were intercepted and shot down, 450 of which targeted Moscow. The attack, aimed at disrupting the elections, ultimately failed to do so.
