Russian authorities said Moscow came under its largest drone attack of the war so far on Saturday night and Sunday morning, as the country entered the final day of its three-day parliamentary elections. More than 1,600 drones reportedly targeted at the capital region in under 24 hours. Two people were killed in the Moscow region and more than 20 were injured, according to officials.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said 450 of the drones were shot down as they approached the city, though preliminary reports indicated no fatalities in the city proper.
Several drones reached the grounds of the Moscow Oil Refinery, according to Sobyanin, and another struck a residential building. The Telegram channel ASTRA confirmed that the refinery caught fire. It also reported that a drone crashed and exploded near a building at 16 Borisovskiye Prudy Street.
Moscow region Governor Andrey Vorobyov said drones fell in several parts of the region, killing at least two people and wounding more than 20.
