Moscow. Ukraine carried out a series of drone attacks on Russian territories on Sunday. These attacks were carried out at a time when Russians were voting on the last day of the presidential elections. This election is expected to give Russian President Vladimir another six years of rule. The Russian Defense Ministry reported shooting down 35 Ukrainian drones overnight, including four in the Moscow region. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said there were no casualties or damage.
According to the Defense Ministry, two drones were shot down in the Kaluga region, just south of the Russian capital Moscow, and in the Yaroslavl region, northeast of Moscow. The Yaroslavl region is located about 800 kilometers from the border with Ukraine. Ukraine’s drone strikes in the region are among the most far-flung attacks Ukraine has ever carried out.
More Ukrainian drones were shot down in the Belgorod, Kursk and Rostov regions bordering Ukraine and the southern Krasnodar region, the Defense Ministry said. Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said Ukrainian shelling killed a 16-year-old girl and wounded her father on Sunday.
According to regional authorities, a drone fell on a refinery in the Krasnodar region, causing a fire, which was extinguished a few hours later. Officials said a refinery employee died of a heart attack. Refineries and oil terminals have been major targets of Ukraine drone attacks.
