Saint Petersburg:
A woman threw a Molotov cocktail at a St. Petersburg school being used as a polling station during Russia’s presidential election on Friday, election authorities said.
Election official Maxim Meiksin said on Telegram that the suspect was in his 20s. He added: “Police immediately stopped the illegal behavior. No one was injured.”
Elsewhere, an explosive device was detonated at a polling station in Russian-occupied southern Ukraine but no one was killed, Kremlin-backed officials said on Friday, as Moscow organized voting in territory it controls.
Moscow’s electoral committee in the occupied Kherson region said: “In Skadovsk, an improvised explosive device was planted in a bin in front of a polling station. It exploded. There were no casualties.”
Russian troops also said Kiev shelled a polling station in the occupied city of Kakhovka.
