Hundreds of Drones Target Moscow on Final Day of Russian Elections

Election officials moved voters and staff to shelters after drone alerts forced a temporary shutdown and one polling site was reported damaged.

  • From Sept 18-20, massive Ukrainian drone attacks disrupted national elections across Russia, forcing authorities in Sochi to suspend voting and move citizens into underground shelters.
  • Russia held national elections for 450 State Duma seats between Sept 18-20, where President Vladimir Putin's United Russia party sought to project stability amid the conflict.
  • Moscow also faced strikes, including a fire in a Ramenskoye apartment building that forced 600 residents to evacuate, while Russia's Defense Ministry reported 344 drones were destroyed over 16 regions and the Black Sea.
  • Preliminary results published late Sunday show the ruling United Russia party won more than half the votes, as authorities moved some polling stations to reserve sites for security.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported speaking with President Donald Trump about a potential New York meeting, while Russians worry about possible future mobilization or tax increases.
