Russia sent 453 attack drones at Ukraine overnight into September 13, concentrating on filling stations and railway infrastructure in the west of the country, in the largest drone raid on that half of Ukraine in months.

For most of the summer the jet-powered Geran-4 was flown at Kyiv and at targets within easy reach of Russian launch sites. This raid used the slower propeller-driven Geran-2 in large teams along the Belarusian border and put them into Volyn, Rivne, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi and Ternopil, the westernmost band of the country and the one that carries European aid inwards by rail and road. A filling station and parked lorries burned within sight of the Yahodyn crossing into Poland.

Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi told the Yalta European Strategy (YES) meeting in Kyiv that about UAH70bn of tax revenue may not reach the budget because of Russian attacks on businesses, that the estimate dates from early September and that it may rise. He also said the cabinet plans to put about $1bn into war risk insurance intended to cover 40% to 50% of losses.

Ukraine spent the same two days inside Russia's refining and petrochemical industry. Its Main Intelligence Directorate says drones hit the key processing unit and the tank farm of the Slavyansk-EKO refinery in Krasnodar Krai, and the Nizhnekamsk petrochemical zone in Tatarstan was attacked for the second time in five weeks. Ukraine's General Staff settled a naming argument over the Tolyatti strike in Samara region, and the Security Service put five targets in Taganrog on its own list.

The Odesa region took the worst of the night of September 11 to 12, when port infrastructure at Chornomorsk and two cargo ships were hit and a 25-storey residential block burned on its upper floors. Two of Ukraine's largest steel plants, Zaporizhstal and ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, were hit in the same wave.

The night of 453 drones

Ukraine's Air Force says Russia launched 453 unmanned aircraft overnight into September 13, a package of Shahed types including jet-powered variants, Gerbera drones and Parodiya decoys, together with S8000 Banderol mini cruise missiles. As of 08:00 it counted 409 targets downed or suppressed, being 405 drones and four Banderol. Impacts were recorded at 13 locations and debris fell at seven more, and the attack was still under way when the figures were published, per Ukrinform.

The launch points were Oryol, Kursk, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, occupied Hvardiiske in Crimea and the Sea of Azov. That is not a record. Nights above 800 drones have already been recorded in this war and this monitor has carried them.

The monitoring account AMK Mapping says at least 800 Geran-2 drones plus dozens of Geran-4 jet drones were launched over an 18-hour period covering the daylight hours of September 12 and the following night. A second monitoring account puts the September 12 to 13 total at around a thousand drones. No Ukrainian body has published a combined count over any such window and the only official figure for the night is 453. Both larger numbers are carried here as monitoring claims and nothing more.

The daytime raid of September 12 is counted separately from the overnight tally. Volyn governor Roman Romaniuk said it lasted more than four hours with more than 10 drones over his oblast alone, that five people were injured and that debris hit a passenger train at Lutsk after the passengers had been evacuated, the Kyiv Independent reported.

Volyn: a filling station at the Polish border

A filling station and parked cargo lorries burned near the Yahodyn to Dorohusk crossing on the Polish border in the early hours of September 13. There is no report of casualties, UNN reported. VolynInfo and Ukrainian television both state that the account rests on social media and needs official confirmation.

No Volyn regional administration statement, no State Emergency Service statement and no named fuel retailer has confirmed it. The brand of the station has not been established. That matters because Russia's filling station campaign has until now been documented mainly in Kyiv, where the chains are known and the operators have spoken.

Yahodyn is one of the busiest road crossings on the Ukraine to Poland frontier and a standing artery for commercial freight. A fire at a fuel station beside it is a different kind of event from a fire at a fuel station in a Kyiv suburb, and no Ukrainian authority has yet described the effect on the crossing itself.

What the west of the country lost

Fires and damage were reported across the western oblasts through September 12 and into September 13. What is confirmed by a named official, as against what is circulating:

Ternopil city. Mayor Serhiy Nadal says a drone attack on the morning of September 13 hit an infrastructure facility, started a fire and injured one person, and that traffic on the bridge locally known as the humpbacked bridge was closed, per Obozrevatel. Regional head Taras Pastukh confirmed a transport infrastructure facility and an industrial building hit in the same attack, per UNN.

Volyn oblast. Governor Roman Romaniuk confirmed five injured and damage from the daytime raid, and a passenger train at Lutsk station hit by debris.

Khmelnytskyi district. Drone debris caused a fire at an industrial facility, per district official Sergey Tyurin. The facility has not been named by anyone.

Rivne, Lviv and Zhytomyr oblasts. Fires and impacts reported by regional officials and by Ukrainian outlets, with several of the individual sites still unnamed.

Ukrainian coverage of the night describes the raid as an expansion of the drone campaign into the west and into Odesa at the same time, as Zerkalo Nedeli set it out, and Kyiv Post's running account of the consequences lists Mykolaiv blackouts, a rail depot in Odesa region, the Ternopil hits and warehouse fires in Odesa, filed on September 13.

The analyst Clement Molin, who tracks the drone campaign, says this is the first large-scale attack on western Ukraine since May 2026 and reads it as the return of the Geran-2 after a long Geran-4 campaign against Kyiv. That is his assessment, published on his own account, and it is presented here as such.

Two substations, named by Moscow and by nobody in Kyiv

Russia's defence ministry says that overnight it struck electricity substations in Odesa and Mykolaiv that supported the working of port and logistics infrastructure, naming them as Usatovo in Odesa and Nova in Mykolaiv, in the account carried by Interfax.

No Ukrainian official has named either substation. What the Ukrainian side has confirmed is the effect. Mykolaivoblenergo said supply was cut in the Zavodskyi, Tsentralnyi and Inhulskyi districts of Mykolaiv on rolling three-hour intervals because of damaged equipment, per Nikvesti. It gave no customer count.

Acting regional administration head Heorhiy Reshetilov had earlier said several districts of the city were partially de-energised after Banderol munitions and jet-powered drones, per Kyiv Post. There has been no Ukrenergo statement specific to September 13 and no national emergency outage schedule has been published.

Moscow names the installation and gives it a military purpose. Kyiv confirms the outage and not the target. Neither account has been independently verified and this monitor records both as what they are.

Nova Poshta at Nerubayske

Russia's defence ministry also says it struck a Nova Poshta logistics centre at Nerubayske in Odesa region, describing it as used for storing and distributing military supplies, in the Interfax account.

Odesa regional administration head Oleh Kiper confirmed a strike on a Nova Poshta branch in the region by a jet-powered drone, with the building facade, glazing and one cargo vehicle damaged, operations disrupted and two people injured, per UNN. A postal branch in the region was also hit by a drone on the night of September 12 to 13, per Gazeta.ua.

Nova Poshta is Ukraine's largest private parcel and logistics operator and has now been hit repeatedly. Its branch network is the delivery layer for retail across the country, which is why a damaged facade and one burnt van still reads as an economic strike rather than a stray.

Footage circulating as a Ukrposhta warehouse burning in Odesa could not be matched to any Ukrposhta or State Emergency Service statement. A Nova Poshta postal terminal in Odesa oblast did burn, but on September 1, which is a different event. The Ukrposhta identification is not used here.

Odesa and Chornomorsk: the ports, two ships and a tugboat

The night of September 11 to 12 was aimed at the Odesa region. Russia's defence ministry says it struck port infrastructure at Chornomorsk used for unloading and storing military supplies, two dry-cargo vessels that had delivered weapons and military equipment, and a marine tugboat. Oniks anti-ship missiles and S8000 Banderol munitions were used inside the wider wave.

No Ukrainian official has named the terminal or the vessels. The terminal-level detail in circulation rests on the Russian claim, and the fullest Western account of the shipping disruption originated with Bloomberg, which is not linked here.

What Ukrainian officials did confirm is the civil damage:

Fire on the 21st to 23rd floors of a 25-storey residential block in Odesa, with seven people rescued including two children and residents freed from a lift

At least 35 injured across Odesa region on Kiper's count, including a five-month-old infant and a 17-year-old, with two people unaccounted for

A hotel building housing a rehabilitation centre damaged at Chornomorsk, with residents of limited mobility evacuated and preliminary information of six injured there

Two low-pressure gas pipelines severed and private houses destroyed or damaged in Odesa and Chornomorsk

Zelenskiy later put the regional injured count at 37 and said the search for two missing people was continuing. The State Emergency Service, when rescue work at the high-rise ended, gave two killed and 25 injured at that building, with seven rescued. The tennis player Dayana Yastremska said her family's Odesa flat was destroyed.

The Kyiv Independent's national tally for the day was 11 killed and 96 injured across Ukraine.

Steel: Zaporizhstal for the third time in a month

Four ballistic missiles hit the Zaporizhstal steel plant in Zaporizhzhia city, owned by Metinvest, on the night of September 11 to 12. It was the third ballistic strike on the works in a month, after August 11 and August 27.

The damage runs to the main and auxiliary equipment of the blast furnace and open-hearth shops, the power system, internal networks and logistics infrastructure. Four employees were injured and three were hospitalised with moderate injuries, Ukrinform reported.

Metinvest chief operating officer Oleksandr Myronenko: "The scale of the destruction is increasing with every strike. It is not yet possible to fully assess it, but preliminarily we consider the damage critical." He says the plant made pig iron and steel for civilian needs and no military products. Production had not resumed after the earlier strikes and the plant was inactive at the moment of impact.

Russia's defence ministry separately claimed the strike, describing Zaporizhstal as a major supplier of rolled sheet for protective structures and armour and of plates for body armour. Those two accounts of what the plant makes cannot both be right and neither has been independently verified.

ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, and an injured count that does not reconcile

One missile hit ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk oblast in the same wave, damaging production and auxiliary facilities. Two employees of a contractor company were killed.

The injured figure is not agreed. The Kyiv Independent says two plant workers were injured, in its account of both steel strikes; Ukrinform's headline says four. This monitor carries both and settles neither.

The plant was struck in December 2022, when one person was killed, and again in August 2026, when three were killed and 18 injured. It is the largest steelmaker in Ukraine.

What Moscow says it hit in the metals belt

Russia's defence ministry published a target list for the same night that goes well beyond what any Ukrainian official or company has confirmed. It claims:

Zaporizhstal at Zaporizhzhia, as a supplier of rolled sheet and body-armour plate

A metallurgical plant at Kryvyi Rih producing metal for weapons and military hardware

The electric-melting complex of Interpipe Steel at Dnipro, described as Ukraine's largest producer of rolled metal for military-grade products

The Pivnichnyi and Novokryvorizhskyi mining and processing plants at Kryvyi Rih, which mine, process and agglomerate iron ore

Port infrastructure at Chornomorsk, two dry-cargo vessels and a marine tugboat

Interpipe Steel and the two ore plants have not been confirmed by anyone in Ukraine. No Metinvest statement and no regional administration statement names either of the ore plants or the Interpipe complex. The naming of Interpipe has circulated through a Reuters wire and an Al Jazeera report, and the Pivnichnyi identification through the same wire. Reuters is not linked here. Until a company or an administration speaks, these stay a Russian claim.

Dnipropetrovsk regional administration head Oleksandr Hanzha confirmed that an industrial enterprise was struck at Kryvyi Rih, with one person killed, another missing and three injured, and that an enterprise was damaged at Dnipro, with one killed and 19 injured there. He named no plant.

Rail: Fastiv, Lutsk and the line to Sumy

Shahed-type drones struck railway facilities at Fastiv in Kyiv oblast and at Lutsk in Volyn on September 12, and a drone hit a passenger train at Lutsk station. Nobody was injured. Ukrzaliznytsia chief executive Oleksandr Pertsovskyi said passengers had been evacuated from the train in advance and staff from their workplaces, per Ukrinform.

Pertsovskyi: "The enemy is once again attacking the railway. As of now, there are hits in Lutsk and Fastiv. Passengers were evacuated from the train in advance, and employees were evacuated from their workplaces. Everyone is safe."

The operator also truncated the Sumy service. Passenger trains on that axis now terminate and start at Konotop, about 130 km northwest of Sumy, with buses running the last leg, because of what Ukrzaliznytsia called the increased intensity of Russian attacks on railway infrastructure and rolling stock in Sumy region.

That follows a week in which four passenger trains were attacked between September 8 and 9, killing three people and injuring at least 20. Rail is the country's transport backbone, because Ukrainian civil airspace has been closed since February 2022, so a truncated line and a bus bridge are an economic cost and not only an inconvenience.

The international service was hit next. On September 13 Ukrzaliznytsia said a locomotive of a passenger train on the Kyiv to Warsaw service was struck in Volyn, two kilometres from the Polish border, per Hromadske Radio. That is the same corridor as the Yahodyn filling station and the same night, and it is the through service to the European Union.

Railway infrastructure was also damaged by a drone in the Myrhorod district of Poltava oblast on the morning of September 12, confirmed by the regional military administration, with no injuries and no delays reported, per LB.ua.

A circulating list of rail targets does not survive checking. A monitoring account lists strikes on railway infrastructure at Volniansk, Zaporizhzhia, Voznesensk, Pyatykhatky, the Yuzhny port, Hadiach and Odesa. On the record: the Volniansk train was hit on September 8, not now; the Voznesensk item traces to a strike on transport infrastructure in Mykolaiv district on September 8; Pyatykhatky is unconfirmed; Hadiach is in the Myrhorod district and the administration named the district and not the town. Odesa's administration confirmed damage to critical infrastructure, a residential block, two educational institutions and vehicles on September 13 and named no railway or port facility, per Espreso.

Yuzhny port is the one worth watching and it is not confirmed. Pivdennyi, still widely called Yuzhny, is a major grain and fertiliser export terminal. No Ukrainian authority, no ministry and no port operator has confirmed a strike on it or on its rail approaches on September 12 or 13, and nothing has been said about loading or vessel movements. The last verifiable strike there was on April 18. Until an operator speaks this stays a monitoring claim.

Warehouses, a food store and a grocery shop

Two strike drones damaged a food warehouse at Nizhyn in Chernihiv oblast on the morning of September 12, along with private houses, outbuildings and cars. There were no casualties and police opened a case under the war crimes article, per Suspilne. Chernihiv oblast police were the source.

In Kyiv oblast, strike drones hit five districts over the day, damaging 15 sites including seven homes, vehicles, warehouses, hangars and a power line, across the Brovary, Obukhiv, Bucha, Boryspil and Vyshhorod districts. One person was killed and three injured.

In Zhytomyr oblast, regional administration head Vitaliy Bunechko reported three filling stations hit, one at Zvyahel and two at Korosten, and a shop at Zvyahel where two people were killed, per Censor and ua.news. No retail chain and no fuel brand was named.

Warehouse fires were also reported in Odesa after the overnight raid. The retail and warehousing layer has now been hit in at least six oblasts in a fortnight, which is the pattern this monitor has been recording since the Varus, Omega and Ozon strikes.

The Polish tile factory nobody official will name

A factory belonging to the Polish ceramics group Cersanit in Zhytomyr oblast was reported struck on September 12, at Zviahel in the Novohrad-Volynskyi district. The plant makes ceramic tiles and bathroom fixtures. A fire was reported and no casualties, per ua.news and Knews.

The sourcing is thin and should be treated that way. The chain runs back to Forbes Ukraine citing eyewitnesses. Cersanit has not commented. The Zhytomyr regional administration has not named the company. The Polish government has not commented.

What Bunechko did say is that an enterprise with foreign investment was struck overnight in his oblast. Whether that enterprise is the Cersanit plant is an inference and this monitor does not make it. If it is confirmed, it joins Imperial Brands in Kyiv and the Oleina plant at Dnipro on the list of foreign-owned industrial assets hit inside a fortnight, which is the part of the campaign that touches investor risk directly.

The price: about UAH70bn of tax

Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi gave the campaign a budget number at the Yalta European Strategy meeting in Kyiv on September 12. About UAH70bn of tax revenue may not reach the budget because of Russian attacks on businesses. The estimate dates from early September and the attacks continue daily, so the figure may rise.

Koretskyi, in the English rendering carried by ua.news: "About UAH70 billion in tax revenue may not reach the budget due to Russian attacks on businesses. This is an estimate as of early September. The attacks continue daily, and this figure may increase." Reported by ua.news and by UNN, both citing the prime minister's own channel.

Three measures came with it:

War risk insurance. The cabinet plans to allocate about $1bn in the budget, with the stated goal of a reserve covering 40% to 50% of losses from attacks. Koretskyi expects international partners to enlarge the fund.

State premises for displaced production. The government is auditing State Property Fund facilities so that businesses can be given warehouse and production space, which is a direct answer to the warehouse and plant strikes of the past month.

Decentralised logistics and border capacity. Logistics is to be decentralised on the model already used in the energy sector, and Kyiv is in talks with neighbours about more flexible border crossing.

The insurance line is the one to watch. A reserve that covers half of a loss changes the calculation for a company deciding whether to restart a damaged plant, and a state that has to find $1bn for it is a state that expects the strikes to continue. No partner has yet been named as a contributor and no legislative vehicle has been published.

What the destruction is doing to output

The budget number sits alongside a damage number and a growth number, both given the same weekend.

About $10bn. Economy and environment minister Oleksandr Kravchenko said the total destruction of infrastructure and assets this year is likely to be close to $10bn.

1.5 percentage points. The same minister said destruction plus the blockage of the seaports will cut GDP growth by 1.5 percentage points.

$190mn a day. Roksolana Pidlasa, who chairs the parliamentary budget committee, said the war cost $140mn a day in 2024 and costs $190mn a day this year.

Those figures come from an Agence France-Presse report, carried here in republication. They are not reconciled with each other and they are not reconciled with the National Bank of Ukraine's July estimate that Russian attacks would knock about 0.9% off GDP in 2026, worst in transport, mining and energy. The perimeters differ and no institution has published a bridge between them.

For scale on the other side of the frontier, Statistics Poland has put the cost to Poland of the war over 2022 to 2025 at PLN490.1bn of lost GDP, with PLN126bn in the corporate sector and PLN292.1bn in households, and a reduction in gross value added of PLN426.5bn. It counts lost output, inflation and wage effects and additional Polish spending including defence and aid to Ukraine. Kyiv Post carried it from TVP World. The euro figure in circulation is a conversion of that zloty number and no conversion has been applied in this office.

Ukraine's answer: a refinery in the Kuban

Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate says drones hit the Slavyansk-EKO refinery at Slavyansk-on-Kuban in Krasnodar Krai on the night of September 12 to 13, striking the facility's key oil-processing unit and its tank farm and causing a fire visible from dozens of kilometres away.

The directorate gives the plant a capacity of 5.2mn tonnes of feedstock a year, oil and gas condensate, producing petrol, diesel, fuel oil, aviation kerosene and vacuum gas oil, and says it supplies Russian forces, per UNN.

No shutdown has been stated by anyone. The directorate describes a fire and damage to a processing unit. No Russian official and no operator has confirmed damage, a production halt or a run cut. Visual evidence rests on the monitoring channels Supernova+, Exilenova+ and Astra, as Ukrinform set out.

Two figures in circulation are not the directorate's and are not verified: a daily capacity in barrels and a share of refining capacity in Russia's Southern Federal District. Both come from a monitoring account's own arithmetic. This monitor uses the tonnage the directorate published and no conversion has been applied here.

Nizhnekamsk: a petrochemical hub, and no official naming

Drones attacked the industrial zone of Nizhnekamsk in Tatarstan on the night of September 12 to 13. The press service of the head of Tatarstan reported a fire at an enterprise and did not name it. Two people were killed and 12 injured on the regional count, which the Kyiv Independent said it could not verify, in its report.

The deaths were not at a plant. On the Tatarstan account, one drone hit a tree and damaged a parked car with four young people inside; two were killed and two were hospitalised. Four more people were injured in residential buildings. The same account says production has not been halted.

District head Radmir Belyayev visited the affected sites and Tatarstan's head Rustam Minnikhanov ordered a damage assessment. Flight restrictions were imposed at Nizhnekamsk, Kazan and Bugulma airports.

The zone is one of the largest refining and petrochemical clusters in Russia and holds three assets of national significance:

TANECO, part of Tatneft, which processes more than 16mn tonnes of oil a year and makes petrol, diesel, aviation kerosene and marine fuel. Tatarstan authorities put its 2022 throughput at 16.2mn tonnes.

TAIF-NK, with capacity to process about 7.3mn tonnes of crude a year plus separate gas condensate facilities, making petrol, diesel and jet fuel.

Nizhnekamskneftekhim, part of Sibur, described by the company as one of Europe's largest petrochemical plants and among the world's top ten producers of synthetic rubber, with more than 120 products.

Which of them burned is not established. The identification of the burning site as TANECO rests on Astra and on monitoring Telegram channels, as relayed here, and on Ukrainska Pravda's account of the same channels, which is named without a link because the site refuses our fetcher. No official has named a plant and no Ukrainian body has claimed the strike at all.

Nizhnekamsk was attacked on August 10 and Ukraine's General Staff reported a successful strike on TANECO in August. The distance from the Ukrainian border is more than 1,200 km.

Tolyatti: the General Staff settles the name

The Tolyatti strike of the night of September 11 to 12 produced a naming conflict that is now resolved on the record. Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces and the General Staff both name the target as Tolyattikauchuk, a maker of synthetic rubbers, monomers, fractions and high-octane petrol additives in Samara region.

The military says the synthetic rubbers go into solid rocket fuel for short-range and ballistic missiles. Drones of the 1st Separate Unmanned Systems Forces Centre flew an estimated 880 km to reach it, and the General Staff says the extent of damage is being established. Interfax-Ukraine carried the confirmation and UNN the General Staff wording.

KuibyshevAzot is a different company in the same city. Kyiv Post and Militarnyi named the burning plant as KuibyshevAzot, which accounts for about half of Russia's caprolactam production and about 75% of its tyre cord output. That identification rests on monitoring channels and heat-signature data, not on any official. Militarnyi is explicit about its sourcing, Kyiv Post carried the KuibyshevAzot naming and Defence Matters states plainly that the early reports confused two separate facilities.

The Russian side confirmed an attack and named nothing. Samara governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev said industrial sites were attacked. Tolyatti mayor Ilya Sukhikh said several residential buildings were damaged and one person injured, per the Moscow Times. Neither company has commented.

One caution on the distance. The Unmanned Systems Forces put the flight at about 880 km; Defence Matters writes about 900 km. The official figure is used here.

Taganrog: five targets and a fuel tank

The Security Service of Ukraine says its Alpha Special Operations Centre struck five targets at Taganrog in Rostov region early on September 12, about 40 km from the border: a facility producing FPV drones, two warehouses storing drones, a Pantsir-S2 surface-to-air missile and gun system, a tank containing fuel and lubricants, and a P-18 Terek mobile radar. It says fires were recorded at all of them, per Interfax-Ukraine.

Zelenskiy listed the same targets, in the account carried by Interfax-Ukraine. No capacity figure has been published for the fuel and lubricant tank, which is the only item on the list that is unambiguously economic infrastructure.

The Russian side confirmed damage of a different kind. Taganrog mayor Svetlana Kambulova said four commercial properties were set ablaze. No Russian official confirmed any of the five military targets. Militarnyi separately reports the Beriev Aircraft Company plant, the Taganrog-Yuzhny airfield where Beriev maintains A-50 radar aircraft and Tu-95MS bombers, and a Taganrog automobile plant; those are monitoring-level identifications.

Zaporizhzhia: a strike on the diesel that keeps the reactors cool

Rosatom chief Alexei Likhachev said on Sunday September 13 that Ukrainian forces had launched "a series of combined strikes" on Friday on the diesel fuel trucks that deliver fuel to the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Friday was September 11.

Likhachev: "The strikes hit very close to the perimeter of the station's site." He said two servicemen were killed and a large number of Russian soldiers injured, some seriously, and that all of them were involved in supporting what he called a purely civilian mission. He has called on the International Atomic Energy Agency to condemn the attacks and says Kyiv is provoking a nuclear incident. The report originated with Reuters, which is not linked here; the Moscow Times carried it.

Why diesel is the economic story at a plant that generates nothing. All six reactors are shut down and the plant produces no electricity. Diesel generators are what keeps the nuclear fuel in the reactors cool when the external power links are down, and both links were down for nearly three weeks in August and September. The 330 kV Ferosplavna-1 line was repaired and restored in the week of September 9 after an IAEA-brokered local ceasefire, per the American Nuclear Society. No source seen states the status of the 750 kV Dniprovska line, so this monitor does not say both links are up.

The agency had already flagged the fuel itself. On September 1 its director general warned that diesel supply for the generators could run down within about ten days, as World Nuclear News reported. A strike on the delivery trucks, if that is what happened, goes at the one input the site cannot do without.

What is not established. No IAEA statement on this specific incident and no indication that its resident team reported it. No Ukrainian response and no denial. No damage figure for the trucks, no count of how many were hit, and no independent confirmation of the casualties, which are Rosatom's own figures for Russian servicemen. Each side has accused the other of endangering the plant throughout the war and this monitor records the accusation as an accusation.

The tankers and the interceptors

A claim circulating in Russian media on September 12 and 13 says Greece demanded that Ukraine stop attacking Greek tankers in Russian ports in exchange for handing over Patriot interceptors near the end of their service life, and that Kyiv refused. It is attributed to a single Ukrainian MP, Ruslan Horbenko.

This office cannot stand that up and is not running it as fact. The trail ends at one Ukrainian outlet, with no venue and no date for the remark, and everything else is Russian aggregation of it. Horbenko is a Servant of the People deputy and deputy chair of the committee on human rights, deoccupation and reintegration, which gives him no standing on arms transfers. No Greek ministry has said anything about such a linkage and issued no denial. No Ukrainian government body has confirmed or denied it.

The two halves of the story are real on their own, and both are economic.

The interceptors. Ukraine has asked for up to 200 PAC-2 interceptors whose 23-year certified life is expiring, with a possible route through Norway, per Army Recognition and European Pravda. Nothing has been agreed. The EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said in early September that Greece and Spain had refused to donate interceptors, with Athens citing Turkey, as the Greek defence press reported. The prime minister has ruled out transferring whole batteries.

The tankers. Greek-linked tankers have been hit repeatedly in Ukrainian strikes on Russian Black Sea ports this year: the Greek-flagged Maran Homer off Novorossiysk on March 14, after which minister Vassilis Kikilias called the attack unacceptable and highly dangerous, per Greek Reporter; the Bourda in early August; the Skiros of 159,021 dwt on August 17, per Splash247 and the Maritime Executive; and the MT Siren on September 5, with no Greek protest that time, per RUA.

The trade. Greek owners are still lifting Russian crude and fuel oil and have earned about $4bn from it, per Greek City Times.

So the commercial tension the claim describes exists whether or not the demand was ever made. A shipping industry that earns from Russian ports and a government being asked for interceptors are the same national interest pulling in two directions, and Ukraine's drone campaign in the Black Sea is what puts them in the same sentence. The desk should treat the Horbenko line as unverified and the rest as the story.

The first fight between two unmanned boats

Ukraine's Navy says that, working with the Main Intelligence Directorate, it destroyed a Russian unmanned surface vessel in the Black Sea on September 12, and describes the engagement as the first naval battle between unmanned surface vessels.

The Ukrainian platform was a Sargan 3000 fitted with a 12.7mm remote weapon station, and the intelligence directorate detected the target, per Ukrinform. The Russian vessel was not named and the superlative is the Navy's own wording, not an independent finding.

The commercial stake is the grain and metals corridor. Russia has been attacking merchant shipping in the Black Sea, and at least five Indian seafarers have been killed in recent weeks, which prompted protests from New Delhi to both Moscow and Kyiv and put maritime security on the agenda of Narendra Modi's meeting with Vladimir Putin in New Delhi. A fight between two robot boats is the corridor's new security problem in miniature.

Zelenskiy separately said a target was hit in the Black Sea over the previous 24 hours and gave no further detail. No vessel, platform, port or terminal was named by anyone and no damage description exists, so it is recorded here as a claim without a target.

Russia's own air-defence claims, and two numbers not to misdate

Russia's defence ministry has published a national interception claim for each of the two nights in this edition. Both are claims, neither has been independently verified, and both count engagements rather than confirmed kills.

Night of September 11 to 12: 230 fixed-wing drones, over a window the ministry stated as 20:00 on September 11 to 08:00 on September 12, per Interfax.

Daytime of September 12: 53 fixed-wing drones, between 08:00 and 20:00 Moscow time.

Night of September 12 to 13: 389 fixed-wing drones, over the Belgorod, Bryansk, Volgograd, Voronezh, Kaluga, Kursk, Oryol, Penza, Rostov, Saratov and Smolensk regions, Krasnodar Krai, occupied Crimea, Tatarstan and Chuvashia, and over the Sea of Azov, the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, in the account carried in Kharkiv.

The ministry gave no time window for the 389. Its wording is only that the drones were destroyed during the past night, so this monitor does not attach to it the 20:00 to 08:00 window that the previous night's bulletin carried. Separately the head of Rostov region reported more than 60 drones destroyed over Millerovo, Novoshakhtinsk and 12 districts on the same night, carried by the Russian state agency TASS, which is named without a link.

Tatarstan, Chuvashia and the Caspian Sea in that list are the geographic point. Ukraine is now flying far enough east that Russia is claiming interceptions over the Volga republics and over a sea with no connection to the front.

A trap on the 389. The Russian defence ministry claimed an identical 389 for the night of March 24 to 25 2025, with a different region list and an explicit 23:00 to 07:00 window. A desk checking the number against an archive will find both. The September figure is the one with Tatarstan, Chuvashia and the Caspian in it.

A note on the 777 figure. This monitor reported on September 12 that Russia claimed 777 Ukrainian drones destroyed overnight into September 11. That dating is right: the claim covers 20:00 Moscow time on September 10 to 08:00 on September 11. It has since been recirculating without a date, and it does not describe either of the two nights in this edition.

Ukraine's General Staff also reported strikes on military rather than economic targets on September 11 and overnight into September 12: drone command posts at Polohy in Zaporizhzhia region and Zaliznyi Port in Kherson region, strike-drone warehouses and storage at Malyi Kermenchyk, Donetsk, Selydove and Kurakhivka, and a logistics depot and a weapons store at Alchevsk. Damage is being assessed. Those sit outside this monitor's economic remit and are recorded for completeness.

Refining under pressure

The International Energy Agency put a number on the cumulative effect of the drone campaign on September 11, and it is the most consequential economic figure of the week.

The baseline outlook for Russian oil processing over the next 18 months has been revised down to about 4mn barrels a day, some 30% below pre-invasion levels

The 2026 forecast for Russian crude supply has been cut by 125,000 barrels a day to 8.7mn barrels a day, on lower refinery runs

Replacing drone-damaged secondary processing units could take six to eight months, with sanctions limiting access to equipment

The agency's own wording: "the persistent drone strikes and the patchwork nature of repairs are having a cumulative negative effect and degrading the refining system." Carried by Ukrinform.

Russia's administrative response is still in place. The ban on diesel and marine fuel exports runs to September 30 2026 and the general fuel export ban to January 31 2027. A country that bans its own fuel exports for four more months is not a country confident about its refining capacity.

Brussels: the list still has not been rolled over

The EU's individual listings of more than 3,000 Russians and Russian entities expire on Tuesday September 15. Ambassadors failed to roll them over on September 11 and are due to reconvene on Monday September 14.

Slovakia is the long-standing blocker and wants Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman delisted. France has now joined on Usmanov, presented as a political compromise, as Euronews reported. One diplomat spoke of huge frustration and suspected economic reasons. Renewal needs unanimity and diplomats expect a six-month extension rather than a longer one as the likeliest worst case.

Zelenskiy on September 12: "it is immoral and self-destructive to give Russian businesses the opportunity to live in a way that allows them to avoid the consequences of the war," adding that "five hundred Shahed drones per day is certainly not the right time to even begin a discussion about easing sanctions." Reported by the Kyiv Independent and by Kyiv Post.

Slovakia blocked the March 2026 renewal and then dropped its demands, which is the precedent everyone in Brussels is relying on. The difference this time is France.

EUR6.1bn, and one claim that is not in the text

The European Commission approved EUR6.1bn for Ukraine on September 11, drawn from the Ukraine Support Loan, the EUR90bn instrument covering 2026 and 2027. It completes the allocation of the EUR28.3bn earmarked for Ukraine's defence in 2026.

The money funds air and missile defence, ammunition, drones and electronic warfare equipment, and PAC-3 interceptors for Patriot systems. Five derogations allow Ukrainian-made drones above cost thresholds and American equipment through Nato's PURL mechanism, and the Commission vets contracts before releasing funds. The Commission statement is here and European Pravda carried the detail.

One claim in circulation is not in the Commission's statement. A version circulating on social media says the EU has called on all countries holding Patriot missiles to transfer them to Ukraine immediately, with reimbursement deferred to next year when replacements are produced. No such call appears in the Commission text and this office could not verify it. It is not used here.

FREYJA: ten companies and a December test

The Ukrainian-led anti-ballistic project FREYJA pairs European components with a Ukrainian-developed interceptor and is pitched as a cheaper, mass-producible alternative to Patriot. Ten companies are coordinating it: Ukraine's Fire Point with Kongsberg, Weibel, Saab, Diehl Defence, Hensoldt, Thales, Safran, Sener and Leonardo. Their executives met in Oslo on September 9.

Zelenskiy said on September 10, speaking to media in Canada, that Ukraine expects the first system by the end of this year and that Canada will join the programme, per Ukrinform. He has since put first testing at late December and said production follows if testing succeeds.

EU defence commissioner Andrius Kubilius said Brussels could provide some kind of financial assistance, citing the EUR90bn Ukraine Support Loan or the EUR1.5bn European Defence Industry Programme as possible sources. No FREYJA-specific figure has been announced and industry figures quoted by Euractiv put realistic results no sooner than 2027, as Kyiv Post reported.

The reason this belongs in an economic monitor is the arithmetic of interception. Ukraine is spending Patriot interceptors against ballistic missiles at a cost per shot far above the cost of the missile being shot down, and every night like this one makes the case for a cheaper interceptor louder.

Leipzig: a trail to the GRU in a newspaper, not a charge sheet

The German paper Welt am Sonntag reported on September 12, citing investigation files, that the drone attack on Leipzig/Halle airport was prepared by a Russian military intelligence employee. This is the most substantive development in the European sabotage file this week and it needs its dates and its status stated exactly.

The incident was on August 4 2026, not in September. A drone carrying professional explosive and a detonator was found at the airport that evening, and a cargo aircraft had to climb sharply and struck what is presumed to have been a second drone.

The federal prosecutor took the case on August 6, investigating attempted causing of an explosion and dangerous interference with air traffic. Its own statement names no suspect and no arrest warrant. The statement is here.

Two ministers attributed it to Russia on September 1. Interior minister Alexander Dobrindt and foreign minister Johann Wadephul publicly held Russia responsible, with Dobrindt calling it a new level of danger and saying Germany is a daily target of hybrid attacks.

The two named suspects come from the newspaper, not the prosecutor. Welt reports a Russian said to be a military intelligence employee who organised the logistical preparation, and a Belarusian alleged to have carried it out, whose DNA was reportedly on the control antenna. The Russian is reported to have entered Germany via Turkey, left for Serbia and to be back in Russia.

No arrest warrant and no charge has been reported by any authority. Tagesspiegel, Euronews and Militarnyi all carry the Welt reporting and all frame it as reporting. This monitor records it as a media account of investigation files and not as a state attribution, which the ministers' September 1 statements already were.

Bulgaria: EMCO burns for the second time in a month

Fire and explosions began at about 23:00 on Friday September 11 at an EMCO ammunition storage site near Gorni Varpishta in the Dryanovo municipality, Gabrovo region, and burned into the following day. Nobody was injured, two guards were evacuated and the national alert system was activated, per the Bulgarian News Agency.

The Gabrovo district prosecution opened pre-trial proceedings over a criminal offence related to a fire, as the agency reported. Interior minister Ivan Demerdzhiev said there was no danger beyond the site, ordered checks of every Bulgarian ammunition depot, and pointed to neglect of storage conditions and poor security. President Iliana Iotova said such explosions have become more frequent.

No Bulgarian official has attributed either fire to anyone. The sabotage framing comes from EMCO the company, which called it part of a series of sabotage against the Bulgarian defence industry. The opposition has demanded a probe into a Russian link. The Kyiv Independent and Defence Blog both carried it.

It is the second incident at an EMCO facility in a month, after a fire near Belitsa on about August 10, over which the company itself ruled out sabotage and prosecutors are investigating. Owner Emilian Gebrev, his son and a company executive were poisoned in 2015, and Bulgarian prosecutors charged three Russian nationals over that. Six Russians have separately been charged with terrorism over four explosions at Bulgarian arms facilities between 2011 and 2020, with warrants issued in 2024. Moscow denies involvement. That is history about different incidents and it is not an attribution of this fire.

EMCO supplies equipment to Ukraine, which is the reason the fire is being read politically. The first reporting was by Reuters, which is not linked here.

Normandy: the prosecutor steps back

A correction to this monitor's own record. The passenger train that derailed on the Rouen to Caen line at Cleon came off the rails on the evening of Friday September 11, at about 19:45, not on September 12 as recorded here yesterday.

There were 186 passengers, one carriage overturned and four more left the rails, and 44 people were injured, one of them an 18-year-old woman in critical condition. A section of rail was found across the track, per Al Jazeera and CBS.

The sabotage line has since been withdrawn by the prosecutor. Rouen prosecutor Sebastien Gallois first said the reasons for the rail's presence were unknown and would have to be determined by the investigation. By September 13 he had gone further and said nothing allows a malicious act to be evoked, as Liberation was reported. The driver tested negative for drugs and alcohol.

There is no arrest, no named suspect, no country named and no confirmed sabotage investigation. SNCF said the priority was caring for passengers and restoring safe operating conditions. Anyone who read this as a Russian operation was reading ahead of the evidence, and this office was among them by a day.

Poland: sirens over five counties, and no incursion

Poland's government security centre issued an air-threat alert by text message at 04:35 on September 13 covering the Wlodawa, Leczna, Swidnik, Chelm and Krasnystaw counties and the city of Chelm. Sirens sounded. The alert was cancelled at 05:00, per Radio Lublin.

The Operational Command said that because of the activity of Russian drones striking Ukrainian territory, Polish military aviation began operating and air defence and radar systems were activated. It described the measures as preventive. No airspace violation was confirmed. Reported bangs and shaking windows were attributed to sonic booms, per Dziennik Wschodni.

The monitoring account AMK Mapping says the nearest Geran-2 was about 65 km from the Polish border when the sirens sounded and went on to attack Stryi in Lviv oblast. That is a monitoring claim. What is official is that Poland scrambled aircraft, alerted five counties and confirmed nothing crossed.

Winter: Plan B, and a threat about the grid

Koretskyi's other message at the Kyiv meeting was about the season ahead. He said Ukraine is significantly better prepared for attacks than a year ago, that the energy sector is constantly under fire and that it is impossible to protect everything fully, and that the government has drawn up Plans A, B and C including the worst-case scenario, per UNN.

Koretskyi, as Kyiv Post reported him from the same platform: "The winter will be hard, I have nothing new to add to that. But we have no other plan than to get through this winter with dignity." Filed on September 13.

He also said strikes and the resulting destruction have multiplied several times over in the past two months, that the economy is in an extremely difficult state, and that lessons from last winter include decentralised delivery of essential services to regions and cities. He is working on the assumption that the war could last a long time and that a ceasefire, if one came, could be broken.

Zelenskiy attached a threat to the same subject, saying that if Russia causes blackouts in Ukraine then Ukraine will try to respond in fitting fashion. He was reported by Ukrainska Pravda and by Kyiv Post; neither is linked for this remark because no article URL could be verified for it. The Russian grid has been hit before and the promise is not empty, but no Ukrainian body has named a target.

What could not be established

Listed so that the gaps are visible rather than papered over:

Which plant burned in the Nizhnekamsk industrial zone. No official has named one and no Ukrainian body has claimed the strike

Whether the Slavyansk-EKO refinery has stopped or cut runs. No Russian official or operator has spoken

Whether the Cersanit plant in Zhytomyr oblast was the enterprise with foreign investment that the regional administration referred to. Neither the company, the administration nor Warsaw has confirmed it

The brand of the filling station that burned at Yahodyn, and the effect on the border crossing

Which terminal at Chornomorsk was hit and which vessels. Only Russia has described them

Whether Interpipe Steel or either Kryvyi Rih ore plant was struck. Only Russia says so

Whether the Yuzhny, or Pivdennyi, grain and fertiliser port or its rail approaches were struck. Only a monitoring account says so and no operator has spoken

Which infrastructure facility was hit at Ternopil. Neither the mayor nor the regional administration has named it

Whether the Zaporizhzhia plant's 750 kV Dniprovska external power line is back up. Only the 330 kV line is confirmed restored

Whether any Greek demand was made linking Patriot interceptors to tanker safety. One back-bench MP, no venue, no Greek or Ukrainian official word either way

How many customers lost power in Mykolaiv. The utility confirmed rolling three-hour cuts in three districts and gave no count

Any Ukrenergo statement or national emergency outage schedule for September 13

Any formal government attribution of the Bulgarian, French or Polish incidents to any state

Whether the EUR6.1bn came with a call on Patriot-holding states to transfer missiles. It is not in the Commission text

Nothing was found in the window on: Oreshnik, Kinzhal or Zircon use, any ICBM event, any reported combat use of the Flamingo FP-5 or of the FP-7 and FP-9, any new Russian production or factory-rate figure, any undersea cable damage, any GPS jamming incident, any airport closed by drones in the EU, or any confirmed Russian drone incursion into Nato airspace.

5-6 Sep	Ryazan oil refinery	Drones, described by the manufacturer Fire Point as long-range FP-1	Ryazan region	Ukraine's General Staff says the refinery was hit and a fire was recorded on the enterprise's territory. Militarnyi geolocates the impact to the Izomalk-2 LIN-800 low-temperature isomerisation unit at 54.5715, 39.7484, which makes high-octane blending component for Euro-5 gasoline; that is the outlet's own geolocation of monitoring-channel video and not an official finding. Governor Pavel Malkov says more than 50 drones were downed over the region and that debris caused a fire at an industrial enterprise, and has not named the refinery. Oily residue reported falling on the city. Rosneft has said nothing and no source states whether processing has stopped.

The assessment states that more than 12 million tons are currently out of service, accounting for about 60% of its capacity, against a design capacity of 20.1mn tonnes a year. Surgutneftegas has made no statement and no Russian official body has acknowledged the damage. A DAMAGE ASSESSMENT WITHIN THE PERIOD, NOT A STRIKE WITHIN IT
11 Sep	Ozon fulfilment centre, Saratov, more than 100,000 square metres	Drones	Saratov region	THE FIRST CONFIRMED STOPPAGE BY A RUSSIAN OPERATOR IN THIS LEDGER. Ozon confirmed the centre was hit and temporarily stopped accepting deliveries and fulfilling new customer orders in Saratov and the surrounding region, per Militarnyi. The site opened in 2024, is designed to hold more than 30mn items and process up to 900,000 orders a day. Video from residents shows employees leaving after explosions. Governor Roman Busargin said there were no casualties. Ozon shares fell 5% on the Moscow Exchange on the news and more than two dozen Ozon and Wildberries warehouses have been hit since midsummer, per The Moscow Times. TASS carried Ozon's own statement on the strike and evacuation; the suspension of orders is reported by The Moscow Times and Militarnyi and does not appear in that statement. No duration for the suspension, no damage figure and no statement on stock destroyed. Ozon is listed
11 Sep	Saratov oil refinery, Rosneft, about 460 km east of the Ukrainian border	Drones	Saratov region	Struck in the same wave as the Ozon centre and also struck on September 8.

11 Sep	Azot plant, Uralchem, Berezniki, about 1,500 km from the Ukrainian border. Around 90 production facilities; Russia's largest producer of nitrogen fertilisers and its sole supplier of higher aliphatic amines, sodium nitrate and crystalline sodium nitrite; makes ammonia, urea and ammonium nitrate used in explosives; about 2,500 employees	Drones, reported as FP-1 long-range types	Perm Krai	UPDATED 11 SEPTEMBER. Plant workers told Astra explosions had halted the production process. The Ukrainian OSINT project CyberBoroshno says triangulation puts the strike on the chemical water treatment unit that supplies demineralised water to the steam reformers and boilers of the ammonia synthesis units, and that damage there is critical to the production cycle and would cascade into a shutdown of the whole plant. Residents reported a chemical smell; schools cancelled classes and clinics suspended appointments. Governor Dmitry Makhonin confirmed a mass drone attack on the krai including two industrial facilities but named neither. Uralchem has not commented. The plant was also struck in autumn 2025. THE CASCADING SHUTDOWN IS AN OSINT ASSESSMENT, NOT A CONFIRMED OUTCOME
10-11 Sep	Industrial enterprise in southern Volgograd, with residential buildings damaged	Drones and FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles	Volgograd region	Governor Andrey Bocharov confirmed an industrial enterprise in the south of the city was affected and that debris fell in the area.

A fire broke out on the plant grounds. NAMING CONFLICT NOW RESOLVED: Kyiv Post and Militarnyi named the burning plant as KuibyshevAzot, about half of Russia's caprolactam and 75% of its tyre cord, on monitoring-channel and heat-signature evidence only; these are two separate companies in the same city. Samara governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev confirmed industrial sites attacked and named none. Tolyatti mayor Ilya Sukhikh reported several residential buildings damaged and one person injured. NEITHER COMPANY HAS COMMENTED
12 Sep	Fuel and lubricant storage tank, an FPV drone production facility, two drone warehouses, a Pantsir-S2 and a P-18 Terek radar, Taganrog, about 40 km from the border	Long-range strike drones of the SBU Alpha Special Operations Centre	Rostov region	The Security Service of Ukraine says fires were recorded at all five installations and Zelenskiy listed the same targets. NO CAPACITY FIGURE FOR THE FUEL TANK, which is the only unambiguously economic item on the list. Taganrog mayor Svetlana Kambulova said four commercial properties were set ablaze and NO RUSSIAN OFFICIAL CONFIRMED ANY OF THE FIVE TARGETS. Militarnyi separately names the Beriev Aircraft Company plant, the Taganrog-Yuzhny airfield and a Taganrog automobile plant, at monitoring level

THAT SUPERLATIVE IS THE NAVY'S OWN AND THE RUSSIAN VESSEL WAS NOT NAMED
12-13 Sep	Slavyansk-EKO oil refinery, Slavyansk-on-Kuban	Attack drones	Krasnodar Krai	Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate says the strike hit the key oil-processing unit and the tank farm and caused a large fire visible from dozens of kilometres. It gives capacity as 5.2mn tonnes of feedstock a year, oil and gas condensate, making petrol, diesel, fuel oil, aviation kerosene and vacuum gas oil, and says the plant supplies Russian forces. NO SHUTDOWN OR RUN CUT STATED BY ANY SOURCE AND NO RUSSIAN OFFICIAL OR OPERATOR COMMENT. Visual evidence rests on Supernova+, Exilenova+ and Astra. A barrels-per-day equivalent and a Southern Federal District capacity share in circulation are a monitoring account's own arithmetic and are not used
12-13 Sep	An unnamed enterprise in the Nizhnekamsk petrochemical and refining zone, more than 1,200 km from the Ukrainian border	Attack drones	Tatarstan	The press service of the head of Tatarstan reported a fire at an enterprise and DID NOT NAME IT, and says production has not been halted. Two killed and 12 injured on the regional count, which the Kyiv Independent could not verify; on the Tatarstan account one drone hit a tree and damaged a parked car with four young people inside, two of whom were killed, WHICH MEANS THE DEATHS WERE NOT AT A PLANT. Four more injured in residential buildings. Flight restrictions at Nizhnekamsk, Kazan and Bugulma airports. District head Radmir Belyayev visited the sites and Rustam Minnikhanov ordered a damage assessment. The zone holds TANECO of Tatneft, more than 16mn tonnes a year, TAIF-NK at about 7.3mn tonnes, and Nizhnekamskneftekhim of Sibur. IDENTIFICATION OF THE BURNING SITE AS TANECO RESTS ON ASTRA AND TELEGRAM CHANNELS ONLY AND NO UKRAINIAN BODY HAS CLAIMED THE STRIKE. The zone was also attacked on 10 August
11 Sep, stated 13 Sep	Diesel fuel trucks delivering fuel to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, close to the perimeter of the station site	Described by Rosatom as a series of combined strikes; type not stated	Occupied Zaporizhzhia oblast	RUSSIAN CLAIM. Rosatom chief Alexei Likhachev said on 13 September that Ukrainian forces struck the diesel fuel trucks that supply the plant on Friday 11 September, that the strikes hit very close to the site perimeter, and that two Russian servicemen were killed and a large number injured, some seriously. He has called on the IAEA to condemn the attacks. NO IAEA STATEMENT ON THIS INCIDENT, NO INDICATION ITS RESIDENT TEAM REPORTED IT, AND NO UKRAINIAN RESPONSE OR DENIAL. No count of trucks hit and no damage figure. Context: all six reactors are shut down and the plant generates no electricity, so the diesel generators are what cool the fuel when the external links are down; both links were down for nearly three weeks in August and September and the 330 kV Ferosplavna-1 line was restored in the week of 9 September after an IAEA-brokered local ceasefire. The status of the 750 kV Dniprovska line is not stated in any source seen. The IAEA director general had warned on 1 September that generator diesel could run down within about ten days.

by 12 Sep	An oil facility in Perm Krai, plus a Su-33 and two Mi-8 helicopters in Krasnodar Krai and Rostov region	Not stated	Perm Krai, Krasnodar Krai and Rostov region	Zelenskiy said the results of earlier strikes this week had been confirmed, listing an oil facility hit in Perm alongside the destruction of the aircraft. NO PLANT NAMED, NO DATE GIVEN FOR THE OIL FACILITY AND NO DAMAGE DESCRIPTION. The aircraft are military and are recorded here only because they came in the same statement

Ukrainian strikes on economic infrastructure in Russia and occupied territory, June 3 to September 13 2026. Non-exhaustive. Every row is sourced; where only one side has spoken, the table says so.

Date	Target	Method	Country	Damage and attribution
4-5 Aug	Ukrainian Antonov Airlines cargo aircraft, Leipzig/Halle airport	Drone carrying explosives	Germany	Detonator failed; device defused by a robot; airport briefly closed. Two further drones found near the airport on August 14 and 25. Germany's interior minister Alexander Dobrindt formally attributed the attack to Russia on September 1: "The Federal Government therefore concludes that Russia is responsible for the hybrid attack in Leipzig on August 4." Putin calls the findings a grave mistake and says Germany falsified evidence UPDATED SEPTEMBER 13: Welt am Sonntag, citing investigation files, reports two suspects, a Russian said to be a military intelligence employee who organised the logistical preparation and a Belarusian alleged to have carried it out, whose DNA was reportedly on the control antenna; the Russian is reported to have entered Germany via Turkey, left for Serbia and to be back in Russia. THAT IS A NEWSPAPER ACCOUNT OF FILES, NOT A PROSECUTOR'S ANNOUNCEMENT: the federal prosecutor, which took the case on August 6, names no suspect and no arrest warrant, and no charge has been reported by any authority.
10 Aug	EMCO ammunition plant, Belitsa	Fire and explosions, cause not established	Bulgaria	Ammunition storage building hit; workers evacuated, no casualties; partial state of disaster declared within 500 m. Nobody blamed; all possible causes under investigation and the company rules out human error
13 Aug	KNDS Ammo Italy plant, Colleferro	Fire in the powder-pressing area followed by an explosion	Italy	All 24 workers accounted for. Defence minister Guido Crosetto says the government has seen nothing to suggest Russian involvement
16-17 Aug	Building used by Milrem Robotics, Tallinn	Arson	Estonia	Deliberate and premeditated, per the state prosecutor; three Latvian citizens detained in Latvia. The company says deliveries to Ukraine were not disrupted
21 Aug	Concealed weapons cache, Brandenburg forest near Berlin	Prepared arms depot	Germany	Two live firearms found. The domestic intelligence service assesses it a Russian dead letterbox left for agents tasked with kinetic operations. No arrests
30 Aug	JFG Composites, Lublin	Fire, cause not established	Poland	A 2,000 sq m facility destroyed; more than 40 firefighters over seven hours; no injuries; damage put at about PLN21mn. The subcontractor makes composite aviation parts for PZL-Swidnik. Prosecutors are examining arson, technical fault and spontaneous ignition. Nobody blamed and no suspects identified
31 Aug	WB Electronics drone-components plant, Skarzysko-Kamienna	Suspected arson	Poland	Storage rooms holding drone components burned; CCTV recorded a masked person climbing the perimeter fence, and a backpack and sweatshirt were recovered; damage put at at least PLN15mn; no injuries and no arrests. The National Prosecutor's Office opened proceedings on foreign-intelligence activity and a terrorist offence. Prime minister Donald Tusk says there is no doubt it was deliberate arson and an act of sabotage; deputy interior ministry head Czeslaw Mroczek says a Russian trail is the obvious inference. No charges and no formal attribution
1 Sep	Turnow-Preilack substation linking the Jaenschwalde power plant to the 50Hertz grid	Purpose-built rockets carrying conductive material	Germany	Two short circuits; a double-digit number of devices found, several unfired; one 500 MW block at Jaenschwalde shut down automatically and was due back the same evening; general supply never affected. Brandenburg police have opened a terrorism investigation. On September 4 federal interior minister Alexander Dobrindt described the substation attacks as climate extremism and very probably the work of a lone actor, after a claim of responsibility naming its sender reached the Berlin daily taz. North Rhine-Westphalia interior minister Herbert Reul was on the same day still working with two hypotheses, foreign-state-directed sabotage and left-wing extremism
1 Sep	Bergheim substation on the Amprion grid, near Cologne	Not established	Germany	Short circuit took several lines out; RWE says five blocks totalling 4,200 MW came off the grid, of which about 3,000 MW was being fed in at the time; no power cuts. Police say they are not assuming a technical failure. North Rhine-Westphalia police are investigating whether the attack was directed by a foreign state or by left-wing extremists. Nobody blamed. The taz claim of responsibility also names Bergheim, and Dobrindt's September 4 attribution to climate extremism covers it
3 Sep	Construction site at Berg am Laim, near the Rohde and Schwarz headquarters, Munich	Suspected arson	Germany	Fire caused no significant damage before it was extinguished and nobody was injured. A 28-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man, both Bulgarian nationals, were arrested at a nearby filling station and remanded in custody on September 4 on suspicion of criminal damage and attempted arson, not terrorism and not a foreign-agent offence. The case has gone to the Munich prosecutors' extremism unit and investigators and Bavaria's interior minister Joachim Herrmann assume a political background. No prosecutor or minister has named a state. German reporting indicates the drone maker Helsing was the likely intended target
3-4 Sep	Dormagen substation, and searches at substations near Weisweiler	Suspected launching device found in a field	Germany	Cologne police say someone apparently tried deliberately to cause a short circuit. No damage and no outage at Dormagen. A handwritten claim of responsibility sent to the Berlin daily taz, postmarked in North Rhine-Westphalia, names its sender, says he acted alone and gives an anti-fossil-fuel motive. A 48-year-old German national from Gevelsberg is being sought and remains at large as of September 7; his home and a converted truck were searched on September 4 and objects suspected of being explosive were found, and Brandenburg has put a 300-officer task force on the case
6 Sep	RWE Niederrhein substation, Wesel	Perimeter fence cut	Germany	Unknown persons cut a hole in the fence, prompting a large police operation with a helicopter. Police made no statement at the scene and say whether the technical installations were tampered with is the subject of the ongoing investigation. Nobody blamed and no motive stated
7 Sep	Building site at Bissingzeile, Berlin-Mitte, and an adjoining transformer station	Fire, cause not established	Germany	Fire spread from the building site to the transformer station, with explosions during firefighting and 25 firefighters deployed; electricity supply unaffected. Police sealed the site and are investigating whether the fire was set deliberately. Nobody blamed, no suspect and no state actor named by any authority
4-6 Sep	High-voltage power lines south of the Graustein substation near Schleife, Gorlitz district, Saxony	Twenty-one homemade explosive devices placed to cause short circuits	Germany	All 21 devices found and defused, nine of them during a three-day search from Friday to Sunday. Power supplies were not interrupted. The Dresden Prosecutor General's Office and Saxony's State Criminal Police Office are investigating through the state's Central Office for Extremism. A claim of responsibility letter linked to the earlier Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia incidents contained indications of planned attacks in Saxony. No suspect named and no authority has attributed it to any state
Feb to Jul, detained by 9 Sep	Romanian and allied military bases, communications centres, movements of military equipment and personnel, and Ukrainian Antonov cargo aircraft on Romanian territory	Covert photography and video for a sabotage network	Romania	A 40-year-old Russian citizen detained by the SRI intelligence service, which says he acted on instructions received through encrypted messaging apps and that the scheme matches operations coordinated by structures in Russia. The SRI says Russia continues to recruit from vulnerable groups. No damage caused, no charge sheet published and no Russian state body named as the principal
8 Sep	Airspace of Moldova and Romania, with a crash site near Mihaileni Vechi	Drone identified by Moldova's defence ministry as a suspected Russian Shahed-type	Moldova and Romania	The drone entered Moldovan airspace at 16:20 local time from the direction of Ukraine and left at 16:37. Spanish F/A-18s were scrambled, Romania issued emergency shelter warnings and suspended airport operations, and the drone came down about 25 km east of the Romania to Moldova border. No damage and no casualties reported. Moldova's defence ministry identified the type in an official statement and no authority has named a launching unit or command
8 Sep	Arrest near the Weisweiler power plant outside Aachen, in the substation sabotage case	Suspect detained carrying explosive devices, with bombs in a nearby tent	Germany	Daniel V., 48, of Gevelsberg in North Rhine-Westphalia, stopped by a traffic patrol checking documents; he tried to flee but did not resist. Explosives were also found in his flat. He is suspected of sabotage at substations at Janschwalde near Berlin, Bergheim near Cologne and Dormagen near Dusseldorf. Police were led to him by letters to German news outlets giving his full address and claiming responsibility, with the line that generating electricity from fossil fuels is a crime. Federal interior minister Alexander Dobrindt says the attacks were very likely climate terrorism by a lone perpetrator; Saxony's interior minister Armin Schuster says the motive remains unclear and the suspect could have acted on someone else's orders. Per Meduza, citing the Frankfurter Allgemeine
by 10 Sep	Undersea cables around Svalbard	Three Russian submarines rehearsing the cutting of cables without leaving a trace	Norway	No cable damaged and the operation was deterred by a joint Nato allied operation. Norwegian defence minister Tore Sandvik said that through the joint operation the allies sent a clear message to Russia that they cannot operate covertly. Attributed to Russia on the record by a named minister, which makes it the only clean state attribution in the period. Russia's defence ministry did not comment. Originally reported by Reuters, which is not linked here
10 Sep	Five manufacturing sites in Swindon, including a drone factory. Reconnaissance alleged, no attack	Alleged covert scouting, passing of intelligence and research into signal jamming	United Kingdom, outside the EU	Joshua Cammidge, 31, of Swindon, a British national, charged with two counts under the National Security Act, assisting a foreign intelligence service and preparing sabotage. Prosecutors allege contact linked to the GRU Volunteer Corps, which they describe as controlled by Russian military intelligence. Remanded, no plea entered, next before the Old Bailey on 25 September. No physical damage. AN ALLEGATION BEFORE A COURT AND NOT A PROVEN STATE ATTRIBUTION; THE SUSPECT'S NATIONALITY IS NOT AN ATTRIBUTION
11 Sep	EMCO ammunition storage site near Gorni Varpishta, Dryanovo municipality, Gabrovo region	Fire and explosions, cause not established	Bulgaria	Fire began about 23:00 on Friday 11 September and burned into the following day, spreading between warehouses with a series of explosions. No injuries, two guards evacuated, the area cordoned and inspected by drone because of the risk of further explosions, and the national alert system activated. The Gabrovo district prosecution opened pre-trial proceedings over a criminal offence related to a fire. Interior minister Ivan Demerdzhiev said there was no danger beyond the site, ordered checks of every Bulgarian ammunition depot and pointed to neglect of storage conditions and poor security. President Iliana Iotova said such explosions have become more frequent. NO BULGARIAN OFFICIAL HAS ATTRIBUTED THE FIRE TO ANYONE: the sabotage framing comes from EMCO the company, which calls it part of a series of sabotage against the Bulgarian defence industry. Second incident at an EMCO facility in a month after Belitsa on about 10 August, over which the company itself ruled out sabotage. EMCO supplies equipment to Ukraine. First reported by Reuters, not linked
11 Sep	TER passenger train on the Rouen to Caen line at Cleon, Normandy, near the Renault plant	A section of rail found across the track	France	Derailed about 19:45 on Friday 11 September with 186 passengers aboard; one carriage overturned and four more left the rails; 44 injured, one an 18-year-old woman in critical condition. Rouen prosecutor Sebastien Gallois first said the reasons for the rail's presence were unknown and would be determined by the investigation, and by 13 September said nothing allows a malicious act to be evoked. NO ARREST, NO NAMED SUSPECT, NO COUNTRY NAMED AND NO CONFIRMED SABOTAGE INVESTIGATION. The driver tested negative for drugs and alcohol. SNCF said the priority was caring for passengers and restoring safe operating conditions. CORRECTS THIS MONITOR'S 12 SEPTEMBER DATING AND FRAMING
13 Sep	Airspace over the Wlodawa, Leczna, Swidnik, Chelm and Krasnystaw counties and the city of Chelm	Preventive air-threat alert during a Russian drone raid on Ukraine	Poland	The government security centre issued a text alert at 04:35 and sirens sounded; the alert was cancelled at 05:00. The Operational Command said Polish military aviation began operating and air defence and radar systems were activated because of the activity of Russian drones striking Ukrainian territory, and described the measures as preventive. NO AIRSPACE VIOLATION WAS CONFIRMED. Reported bangs and shaking windows were attributed to sonic booms. The monitoring account AMK Mapping says the nearest Geran-2 was about 65 km from the border and went on to attack Stryi in Lviv oblast, which is a monitoring claim

Arson, sabotage and unexplained fires at defence, aviation and energy sites in the EU and the UK, August 4 to September 13 2026. Non-exhaustive. Attribution is given as the authorities state it and no further.

The shape of the next three days

Three clocks. The first is in Brussels, where 3,000 listings lapse at the end of Tuesday unless two capitals drop a demand about two men, and where ambassadors sit down again on Monday.

The second is in Kyiv's finance ministry, where a UAH70bn hole in tax receipts and a $1bn insurance reserve have to be found inside a budget that is already the subject of an argument about 2027. The prime minister has named the numbers; the vehicles for them have not been published.

The third is the weather. Russia has moved its propeller drones west to the fuel and rail network that carries European aid inland, at the start of the season when that network matters most, and Ukraine has answered by working through Russia's refining and petrochemical map from Krasnodar to Tatarstan. Both sides are now aiming at the other's ability to move and burn fuel, and the International Energy Agency has already written Russian refining down by 30% against pre-invasion levels on the strength of it.
