Moscow hit by massive drone attack during parliamentary elections FAST-MOVING

A massive overnight drone attack targeted Moscow and its surrounding regions on the final day of Russia's parliamentary elections. Russian authorities reported that air defenses intercepted over 1,600 drones since Saturday, with approximately 450 directed toward the capital.

The strikes resulted in at least two deaths: a 44-year-old woman in Sofyino and an elderly man in the Orekhovo-Zuyevo district. Multiple fires were reported, including one in a 21-story residential building in the Ramenskoye district, which led to the evacuation of roughly 400 people. A facility at the Moscow oil refinery in Kapotnya also sustained damage.

In response to the aerial threat, major Moscow airports, including Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo, implemented temporary flight restrictions or suspended operations, causing significant travel disruptions. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin characterized the operation as an unprecedented attempt to sabotage the election process.
