Many drone attacks during the vote in Russia

172

A big vote happens in Russia right now. Today is the last day of the vote for the parliament. Many attacks with 'Drohnen' happen on this day. A 'Drohne' is a small flying machine without a pilot.

The attacks hit the city 'Moskau' and areas nearby. The air defense shoots many 'Drohnen' down. The mayor says more than 1600 'Drohnen' fly there. This is a very high number. 2 people die in the attacks. One woman and one old man lose their lives.

An 'Öl-Raffinerie' gets damage in 'Moskau'. This is a factory for petrol. A big house with 21 floors also gets hit. A fire starts there. 400 people must leave the house. The mayor of 'Moskau' says: 'Ukraine' wants to stop the vote. 'Ukraine' says nothing about this.

The people in Russia vote for 450 members for the 'Staats-Duma'. This is the parliament in 'Moskau'. Critics say: The vote is not free. Real opponents of 'Putin' must not join. Only parties for the war are on the ballot. 'Putin' wants to show support.
