On the final day of Russia's parliamentary elections, hundreds of drones targeted Moscow, resulting in at least two fatalities and damage to a major oil refinery. Authorities reported that over 1,600 drones were intercepted, with accusations directed at Ukraine for attempting to disrupt the voting process.
The attacks coincide with an increase in Ukraine's long-range drone strikes against Russian energy infrastructure, which have already impacted oil refining capacity and caused fuel shortages across the country.
Watch for potential escalations in drone warfare as Ukraine continues targeting Russian energy assets. The impact on fuel supplies may lead to increased domestic unrest in Russia, especially as the election results are analyzed for public sentiment on the war.
