A Telegram channel reported that a UAV strike killed Elena Astanina, the head of a precinct election commission, in the Tokmaksky district of Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The channel claimed the incident occurred today and stated that the election process is facing an "extreme" environment due to opposition from the "evil Western world."

The source also mentioned propaganda leaflets distributed on territories of Donbas and Novorossiya, and stated that officials are present in each precinct to prevent provocations. The channel suggested that high voter turnout would be a victory for Russia.
