Kyiv launches massive strikes on Moscow as Russians vote

Kyiv, Ukraine, launched a significant drone attack on Moscow and its surrounding regions on the final day of Russian parliamentary elections, according to Semafor. The attack, described as the largest on Moscow since the war began, saw over 1,900 drones intercepted by Russian forces, disrupting voting in parts of the country. The conflict in Ukraine, along with issues in the Middle East and concerns over artificial intelligence, are expected to be major topics at the upcoming UN General Assembly in New York, where nearly 130 heads of state are set to gather.

The ongoing wars are casting a shadow over the event, with the UN being referred to as a "trauma center for the foreseeable future" by an expert quoted by Reuters.
