Overview

• Ukraine’s General Staff reported 184 engagements in the past day, citing 89 airstrikes, 163 guided bombs, 4,785 shelling incidents and 6,325 kamikaze drones used by Russia.
• Fighting was heaviest on the Pokrovsk axis, where Ukrainian forces said they stopped 52 assaults, with additional pressure on the Siversk and Novopavlivka directions.
• Romania’s defence ministry said F-16s detected and tracked a drone in national airspace near Kiliya-Veke; Zelensky said it penetrated roughly 10 km and loitered about 50 minutes, and Romania’s foreign minister vowed to raise the issue at the UN.
• Poland said Russian drones violated its airspace on September 10 and were downed by NATO assets, while U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the incursions unacceptable but said the intended target remains unclear.
• Ukrzaliznytsia rerouted services after infrastructure damage near Boyarka, warning of 2–3 hour delays, and Kyiv regional authorities said the explosions heard were not the result of an air attack; separately, Ukrainian intelligence sources said kamikaze drones struck the Bashneft refinery in Ufa, causing a fire.
