Ukraine launches record 1,000-drone attack on Russia, targeting Moscow on election day
Ukraine launched over 1,000 drones at Russia, including hundreds targeting Moscow, on the final day of Russia's parliamentary elections, with officials calling it the largest-ever attack on the capital and reporting two deaths and 20 wounded. Moscow's mayor confirmed damage to an oil refinery and a residential building, while Russia's Defense Ministry said it shot down 1,110 drones. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the strikes used domestically made missiles to hit oil and logistics facilities, aiming to pressure Russia's economy. The attack occurred as Russia held wartime elections, including in illegally annexed Ukrainian regions, and Zelensky said he agreed to meet President Trump this week at the UN General Assembly.
