Ukraine launches over 1,000 drones at Russia on final day of Duma elections

Ukraine launched more than 1,000 drones at Russia in the largest attack of the war, timed to the final day of Russia's Duma elections. Moscow claimed its air defenses downed over 1,600 drones, but several breached the capital's defenses, striking a major Gazpromneft refinery near the Kremlin and killing two people. The piece notes Ukraine's summer drone campaign had previously failed to penetrate Moscow's air defenses and calls the strike a rare success, while describing Russia's elections as widely derided as fraudulent.
