Russia to Intensify Kyiv Attacks After Mass Drone Strikes

Moscow said its forces will target military sites after claiming Ukraine launched more than 1,600 drones and killed at least three people.

  • Ukraine launched over 1,100 drones across Russia, Crimea, and the Black Sea to disrupt parliamentary elections, as Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin called the assault "unprecedented" and "clearly planned with the aim of disrupting the elections."
  • Preliminary results from the Central Election Commission showed the ruling United Russia party leading with nearly 58 percent of the vote, though the European Union condemned voting in occupied Ukrainian territories as illegal.
  • Drones struck the Moscow Oil Refinery, forcing 400 evacuations after a fire broke out in a 21-story residential building, prompting the Russian Defense Ministry to pledge intensified high-precision strikes on Kyiv.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the focus on energy assets, asserting the facility provides "billions of dollars to sustain the war machine" and calling for Moscow to "choose peace."
  • Zelenskyy is set to meet President Donald Trump in New York to pursue a diplomatic resolution, even as combat veterans report constant drone attacks have worsened frontline conditions.
