Moscow. On the final day of Russia's parliamentary election, the capital region of Moscow was once again hit by Ukrainian drone attacks. Over 180 incoming drones were intercepted since midnight, according to state news agency Tass, citing Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. However, at least two people were killed and several injured when drones struck two residential buildings, the report stated.
The claims could not be independently verified. Additionally, an oil refinery in the Russian capital was reportedly targeted. Sobyanin spoke on Sunday of an unprecedented attack aimed at disrupting the vote. "The opponent did not achieve this," he said on the Telegram short messaging service. According to Sobyanin, the city's air defense had intercepted over 1,600 drones since Saturday, of which 450 were directed at Moscow.
While no casualties were reported in the capital, there was damage to residential buildings in the outskirts.
