Russia’s Vladimir Putin seeks fifth term in tightly-controlled election

Russia’s defence ministry says its forces have destroyed dozens of drones in several regions across the country as the election continues.

The biggest attack has happened in the southern region of Krasnodar, where an oil refinery was targeted.

Vladimir Rogov, a Russian-installed leader in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, has said today that two Ukrainian drones attacked a polling station – setting the building on fire but causing no deaths or injuries.

In Ukraine, officials have reported new Russian air strikes on the port city of Odesa.

Krasnodar authorities also said earlier that 17 drones had been launched against the oil refinery in Slavyansk-on-Kuban and had been neutralised, but one sparked the fire as it fell.
