The Russian Ministry of Defense announced today, Sunday, that Russian forces will continue to intensify their strikes using high-precision weapons against military targets in Kyiv. The Russian Defense Ministry emphasized that "the Ukrainian armed forces attempted on September 19-20 to launch a large-scale attack to thwart the elections, but it was countered and thwarted," affirming that "within one day, 1,951 Ukrainian drones and eight long-range cruise missiles were shot down over Russian regions." On Saturday night, Ukraine launched the largest drone attack on Russia since the beginning of 2026, targeting oil and logistical facilities, while Moscow announced the deaths of two people, injuries to others, and the disruption of air traffic.
