St Petersburg:
A woman threw a Molotov cocktail at a school used as a polling station in St. Petersburg during Russia's presidential election on Friday, election authorities said.
The suspect was in his 20s, election official Maxim Meiksin said on Telegram. “The unlawful actions were immediately stopped by police officers. No one was injured,” he added.
Elsewhere, an explosive was detonated at a polling station in Russia's Russian-occupied southern Ukraine but caused no deaths as Moscow organizes the vote in areas it controls, Kremlin-backed officials said on Friday.
“In Skadovsk, an improvised explosive device was placed in a garbage bin in front of a polling station. It exploded. There were no casualties or injuries,” Moscow's election commission in the occupied Kherson region said.
Russian forces also said Kiev had shelled polling stations in the occupied city of Kakhovka.
