Russia reports cyberattacks on Moscow's electronic voting system during parliamentary election

Russia's first parliamentary election since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine is under way, with authorities reporting cyberattacks on the capital's electronic voting system on the second day.

• Russia reported "powerful" cyberattacks on Moscow's electronic voting system; Ella Pamfilova, head of the Central Election Commission, said the attack was ongoing and large-scale, as the system continued operating normally.
• Putin accused Ukraine on Friday of trying to hinder the vote; Kyiv did not respond, and Ukraine's government has called the election farcical.
• The liberal Yabloko party, which seeks a ceasefire in Ukraine, was barred from party-list ballots last month after the Supreme Court ruled it breached electoral rules, a ruling the party denies.
• Voter turnout stood at 32.58 percent as of 14:00 local time on Saturday, according to Central Election Commission data cited by state media.
