- Russian forces intercepted more than 1,600 drones since Saturday, including 450 targeting Moscow, while one drone hit a 21-storey apartment building, forcing about 400 residents to evacuate and damaging a Moscow oil refinery facility.
- Central Election Commission chairwoman Ella Pamfilova stated the attacks had not deterred voters, saying "the more pressure they put on us, the more we are seeing an unprecedented level of what I would call public unity."
- The Kremlin expects the outcome to demonstrate public backing for President Vladimir Putin's war policies, though the NEST think-tank suggests the vote could produce awkward moments for the government amid economic strain.
