Russia Vows Revenge After Ukraine Drone Attacks on Moscow; Ruling Party Wins Parliamentary Elections

On the final day of parliamentary elections, Ukraine launched a series of drones targeting Moscow and its surrounding regions. The attacks resulted in the deaths of two individuals and caused a major oil refinery to catch fire. The strikes occurred amid heightened tensions as the election results were being finalized. Russia swiftly condemned the drone attacks, with state media declaring the strikes as an act of war and vowing 'revenge' against Ukraine. The Kremlin emphasized that the attacks would not go unanswered, though no immediate military response was announced. Meanwhile, preliminary election polls indicated that the ruling party, led by President Vladimir Putin, had won a significant majority in the parliamentary elections. The sources consistently report the drone attacks and the election outcome, though the exact number of casualties and the extent of damage to the oil refinery are not specified in the excerpts. The event has intensified the already volatile relationship between Russia and Ukraine, with the potential for further escalation in the region.
