Several people have been detained for vandalism at polling stations on the first day of voting in presidential elections in Russia.
Incidents involved green dye being poured into ballot boxes, the boxes being set alight and fireworks being set off inside polling stations.
Russian officials have not said if the acts of vandalism were protests against Vladimir Putin, who is certain to win six more years in office as he has no credible opponent.
Voting is taking place in Russia over three days until Sunday.
