Ukraine launches reported 1,000-drone attack as Russia’s parliamentary vote ends
Russian officials described the strikes, including hundreds reportedly aimed at Moscow, as the largest attack of the war.
Ukraine launched more than 1,000 drones at Russia as the country concluded the final day of its three-day parliamentary election, according to France 24 International.
Russian officials said hundreds of the drones targeted Moscow and described the assault as the largest attack of the war so far. The claims have not been independently verified in the supplied material.
The strikes coincided with the end of voting in parliamentary elections described as tightly controlled. President Vladimir Putin had presented the election as a test of support for Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The supplied material does not establish whether the reported attack affected voting, turnout or the election result. It also provides no verified details about casualties, damage or interceptions.
The timing placed a major reported security incident alongside the close of a vote the Kremlin had linked to public backing for its war policy.
