Ukrainian forces launched more than 1,000 drones and missiles at Russia overnight, with Moscow's mayor calling the wave targeting the capital the largest drone attack the city has faced. Zelenskyy said the strikes, using domestically produced Flamingo and Pelican missiles, hit oil and logistics facilities he says bankroll Russia's war effort. Russian officials reported two dead and 20 wounded in the Moscow region and said air defenses downed 1,110 drones.

The attack landed on the final day of Russia's parliamentary election, a vote held with essentially no opposition to President Putin and extended into Ukrainian territory Moscow illegally annexed but does not fully control. Russia's Central Election Commission said a Ukrainian strike killed a member of a local electoral committee in occupied Kherson.

Ukraine reported its own losses: a Russian drone strike on a monastery in Kherson region killed a clergy member and wounded four, and a separate strike on Kyiv killed a mother and two children, with a third child later dying in hospital.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
An election with no real choice on the ballot doesn't get less rigged just because drones are falling on the capital where the ballots are being counted. Both governments will spend the next few days trading casualty numbers like box scores, and neither number will make the dead any less dead. That's the whole war in one weekend: a vote nobody could really lose, and strikes nobody can really win.
