  "summary": "Two people were killed in one of the largest Ukrainian drone attacks on the Moscow region, with an oil refinery in Russia's capital also being targeted, according to authorities. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that over 1,600 Ukrainian drones had been downed since Saturday, with 450 headed for Moscow. Despite the attacks, no casualties were reported in the city itself. The attack is believed to have been planned with the intention of disrupting the ongoing parliamentary elections. The Moscow refinery, which processes 11.6 million metric tons of oil annually, was damaged, with one drone hitting an apartment, resulting in two fatalities. Ukraine has not commented on the attacks, maintaining that they do not target civilians. Both sides insist on refraining from civilian casualties. In the broader Moscow region, 400 people, including 70 children, were evacuated from a 21-story apartment building in the Ramenskoye district, and several homes suffered damage.",
