Overview
- Romania’s defense ministry said a Geran-type UAV used by Russia entered Romanian airspace on 13 September and was tracked for about 50 minutes by F‑16s that had authorization to fire but held back due to assessed risks.
- German Eurofighter Typhoons assisted the patrol, and debris attributed to a drone was later reported near the Kiliya area in the Danube delta.
- Polish foreign minister Radosław Sikorski told FAZ that creating a no‑fly zone over Ukraine should be considered only with allies, noting details about drones over Poland remain uncertain.
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk earlier said drones he called Russian were shot down over Poland without presenting evidence, while Moscow disputed the claim and offered consultations.
- Ukraine said it struck the Kirishi oil refinery, local officials reported two critical‑infrastructure sites hit near Nizhyn, and DPR head Denis Pushilin claimed urban fighting and advances toward Seversk.
