Overview

• The General Staff logged 208 combat engagements on September 15, citing 69 airstrikes, 130 guided bombs, 4,795 shellings and 5,865 kamikaze drones, with Ukrainian forces stopping 54 assaults on the Pokrovsk axis.
• Southern command reported Russia is conducting roughly 750–780 kamikaze‑drone strikes daily across the south and increasingly deploying Molniya loitering munitions to hit logistics routes, including the Mykolaiv–Kherson road.
• Sumy region authorities recorded 97 strikes across 51 settlements in the past day with multiple civilians wounded, noting attacks by FPV drones and guided aerial bombs.
• Ukrainian forces say repeated Russian attempts to land on Dnipro delta islands, including Bilogrudyy and Kruhlyk, failed as Moscow adds riflemen‑motorcyclists to assault units and expands UAV operator ranks on the southern front.
• President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia has used more than 3,500 drones, nearly 190 rockets and over 2,500 aerial bombs since early September and urged stronger sanctions, while a GUR source reported an operation against Russian troops near Shchytova in Primorsky Krai.
