Russia claims 1951 drones, 8 cruise missiles downed over regions during elections

Russian MoD reports a massive Ukrainian drone and cruise missile attack on Russian territory during the September 19-20 State Duma elections, claiming 1951 drones and 8 'Flamingo' missiles were intercepted. The claim is unverified and likely inflated; the attack, if real, marks a significant escalation in cross-border strikes timed to disrupt elections. The incident underscores Ukraine's expanding deep-strike capability and Russia's vulnerability, though the scale is uncertain.
