Ukraine launches massive drone strikes on Moscow during Russian elections
Ukraine launched a large-scale drone operation targeting Moscow and surrounding regions during the final stages of Russia's parliamentary elections. Moscow officials described the attack as unprecedented, with reports indicating the involvement of over 1,600 UAVs. The strikes hit critical infrastructure, including the Moscow Oil Refinery and residential buildings, resulting in civilian casualties and forced evacuations.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the operation targeted key energy and logistics assets to disrupt the financial resources sustaining the Russian military. Reports indicate that the campaign utilized at least 10 different types of long-range weapon systems.
The Kremlin characterized the strikes as a deliberate attempt to sabotage the electoral process. Despite the attacks, preliminary results from the Central Election Commission show the ruling United Russia party maintaining a significant lead with approximately 57.82% of the vote. In response, the Russian Defense Ministry announced it would intensify high-precision strikes against military targets in Kyiv.
