The Russian air defense system destroyed two drones near a polling station in the Kherson region. This was announced by the chairman of the electoral committee of the region Marina Zakharova.
“Today in the Skadovsky municipal district two drones were shot down by an air defense system in the immediate vicinity of polling stations,” she said (quote according to TASS).
Zakharova called the incident a “sabotage provocation” on the part of Kyiv.
On September 8, CEC Chairman Ella Pamfilova twice reported the evacuation of the Kherson region election commission due to shelling. Deputy Chairman of the Central Election Commission Nikolay Bulaev clarifiedthat a missile attack has been announced in the region. According to him, the election commissions of the constituent entities had to be moved to “an alternate airfield where there is no video conferencing connection.”
A single voting day is scheduled for September 10 in Russia. Elections from September 8 to 10 are also being held for the first time in new regions – the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. Previously Pamfilova spokethat the CEC may postpone elections in some areas of new regions at the last minute if the situation worsens and a threat to the safety of voters arises.
