• The Ukrainian General Staff reported 158 combat engagements on September 13, citing 63 air strikes, 106 guided bomb drops, roughly 1,950 kamikaze drones and about 3,570 artillery and rocket attacks across the front.
• On the Pokrovsk axis, Russian forces attempted 39 pushes, and Ukraine reported 86 enemy personnel killed, 55 wounded and 19 drones destroyed alongside damaged vehicles and shelters.
• Romania’s defence ministry said two F-16s detected and tracked a drone in national airspace before it disappeared from radar near Kiliya-Veke, and the foreign minister said it remained for about 50 minutes and will be raised at the UN General Assembly.
• U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Russian drone incursions into Poland unacceptable and said the drones were launched deliberately, as Poland and NATO reported shooting down multiple aircraft during the September 10 attack.
• Sources in Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate told Radio Svoboda that kamikaze drones struck the Bashneft-Noveoil refinery in Ufa on September 12, reporting explosions and a fire while noting final damage assessments were still being clarified.
