Ukraine launches record 1,600-drone attack on Russia
Ukraine launched over 1,600 drones against Russia overnight into Sunday, according to Russian authorities, marking the largest such attack ever recorded, with Moscow's mayor confirming the scale. Russia's defense ministry reported shooting down 1,100 drones over the country, annexed Crimea, and the Black Sea. At least two people were killed in the Moscow region, and two more died in the Russian-controlled Kherson region, including an election official. Moscow's mayor stated 450 drones targeted the capital, with damage reported at an oil refinery. The attack occurred during Russia's parliamentary election, which is expected to consolidate President Vladimir Putin's 26-year grip on power. Moscow's mayor accused Ukraine of attempting to disrupt the vote, while the refinery had previously been struck by Ukrainian drones.
