Russian CEC reports rising attacks on electoral infrastructure ahead of Duma vote

Russian Central Election Commission head Ella Pamfilova reports an increase in attacks on the electoral system, including threats to commission members, cyberattacks on automated systems, and shelling of election commission premises ahead of the State Duma elections. The claims are unverified and likely serve to justify heightened security measures or preempt criticism of electoral integrity. This signals potential escalation in domestic political tensions and possible foreign interference narratives.
