> Russian authorities say voting systems and communications lines were attacked on the second day of a tightly controlled, three-day State Duma election. Moscow’s electronic voting system reportedly faced a large-scale overnight cyberattack but continued operating. The vote is expected to gauge public support for the war in Ukraine; Moscow’s mayor also reported more than 350 Ukrainian drones targeting the capital.
