Russia Reports Coordinated Cyber and Physical Attacks During Election Week
During the Russian election week, Moscow experienced a combination of physical drone and robot attacks alongside numerous cyberattacks targeting electoral and telecommunications infrastructure. Russian officials, including CEC head Ella Pamfilova, claim thousands of cyberattacks, attributing them to Kyiv, with specific mention of disruptions to remote electronic voting systems in Moscow and the Far East. These claims are largely unverified, and the full impact and attribution of both the physical and cyber incidents remain unclear.
