On September 20, Ukraine launched an "unprecedented" drone strike (UAV) on Moscow, a move that Russia believes is aimed at disrupting parliamentary elections, according to AFP.
The enemy's largest drone attack has been repelled. Since yesterday, more than 1,600 drones have been shot down across the fronts. Among them, 450 UAVs flew towards Moscow," Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said in a statement on Telegram.
Throughout the Moscow province, provincial governor Andrey Vorobyov said at least two people were killed. A fire caused by a UAV crashing into a 21-story building also forced 400 people to evacuate.
According to Chairman of the Russian Central Election Commission Ella Pamfilova, a UAV attack on a civilian bus killed two people, including a election official, in a Russian-controlled area of Kherson province.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky then declared that the country's UAV had hit a oil refinery in Moscow region.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said on September 20 that Russian forces raided the storage facility of Fire Point - a Ukrainian UAV and missile manufacturer - in Kiev province, along with a cargo ship in the port of Odessa and a postal logistics center also in this province. Russia accuses the facilities of being used to transport goods for military purposes.
Ukraine has increased its long-range UAV attack campaigns against Russia in recent months, especially targeting energy infrastructure.
The attack on Moscow took place when Russian voters entered the final day of voting in the three-day parliamentary elections.
