Missile War Monitor: Russia strikes a Ukrainian commuter train, Turkey seeks a Black Sea truce
A Russian drone killed a passenger on a commuter train in the Kharkiv region and injured eight, Ukraine's state railway and regional prosecutors said on September 18.
It is the first death aboard a train in this monitor's ledger, and it lands in the same week that a damaged rail bridge in the Odesa region left about 3,000 grain-laden wagons 26 days from the Danube ports, that Poland's prime minister told parliament Russia's plan is to wreck Ukraine's economy through the winter, and that Turkey went to Moscow and Kyiv with a draft text on sparing civilian shipping. The campaign against Ukraine's logistics has stopped being an inference and started being something officials say out loud.
The night itself was the reverse of the week's pattern. Russia's defence ministry claimed 629 Ukrainian drones destroyed and, for a third night, attached no number to any region. Ukraine's air force counted 93 incoming drones and no missiles of any kind.
A drone kills a passenger on a commuter train
The train was struck at about 10:30 near Lypkuvativka station in the Nova Vodolaha hromada, by a drone preliminarily assessed as a Geran-4. The head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, Oleh Syniehubov, said a man had been killed and seven people injured, Ukrinform reported. The Kharkiv regional prosecutor's office later put the injured at eight, with burns, bruises and wounds, and classified the strike as a war crime, Objectiv reported. The eight replaces the seven rather than adding to it.
Two carriages burned. Ukrzaliznytsia said its monitoring group had detected the threat and an evacuation was announced, and that two passengers were seriously hurt because they did not move a safe distance from the train while it was under way, LB.ua reported. The company restated its standing instruction to move at least 200 metres from the train and the track where there is no shelter. Survivors were taken on to Nova Vodolaha by bus.
That last detail is the part worth sitting with. A state railway is now publicly explaining to its own passengers why some of them were hurt worse than others during an evacuation from a moving target. No outlet has named the line or the route.
Russia's plan, in a prime minister's words
Donald Tusk told the Sejm on September 17 that Polish intelligence assessments show Russia intends hybrid strikes with drones and missiles against states supporting Ukraine, Poland among them, and that there is "a real risk that the territory of one or several Nato countries on the eastern flank may be entered by drones or other types of missiles, which may even cause destruction", Euronews reported. He called it the most probable scenario for the coming months.
On Ukraine he was more specific than either defence ministry has been. Six Ukrainian cities are under constant intensive strikes, he said, and Russia's aim is to destroy the economy through its stockpiles and its railways, with more than 300 locomotives destroyed in recent weeks. He named late autumn and winter as the war's most critical period, and singled out jet-powered high-altitude drones near Poland's border as a threat few countries can counter.
A prime minister's intelligence summary is a claim by an interested government, not a finding. But the locomotive figure is the same order as the running total this ledger already carries, and the rail campaign it describes is the one that killed a passenger the next morning.
Turkey goes to both sides over the Black Sea
Turkey has given Russia and Ukraine a draft memorandum on protecting civilian shipping, a Turkish diplomat told AFP on September 17, Turkish Minute reported. The text proposes two routes, one along the Romanian and Bulgarian coast and one through Georgian and Turkish waters, modelled on the 2022 grain corridor. "We want to use the territorial waters of the adjacent states, including Turkiye, and Georgia, if they are willing", the diplomat said.
The numbers behind it are the reason it exists. Some 226 commercial vessels have been struck since February 2022, of which 163 in the first eight months of 2026 and almost 90 in August alone, per Turkish defence sources. At least 22 Turkish-owned ships have been hit and at least three Turkish citizens killed. That is a war on shipping that has moved from occasional to routine inside a single year.
Nothing suggests either side has accepted. Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has previously called measures of this kind unrealistic, and neither Moscow nor Kyiv has responded on the record. It belongs in this monitor because it is the first attempt by a third state to put a floor under the campaign against ports and shipping since the grain corridor collapsed.
Grain stops short of the Danube
The Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi railway bridge in the Odesa region was hit on September 17, cutting the rail route that carries grain to Ukraine's Danube ports. Ukrzaliznytsia said "The situation is very difficult. We are working on restoring the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi bridge", and that about 3,000 grain-laden railcars were delayed, with delivery to the Danube ports taking a minimum of 26 days on alternative routes, Latifundist reported. Reuters had it first and is not linked here.
No outlet names an individual at Ukrzaliznytsia, no source says what part of the bridge was damaged, and no source gives the weapon or the hour. That is thin for an event of this size, and it is set out that way rather than filled in.
Cargo handling at the Velyka Odesa ports has fallen more than 15-fold since July 22 under systematic strikes on port infrastructure and civilian shipping, the minister of development of communities and territories, Mykola Kalashnyk, said on September 13, giving 1,173 port facilities and 274 civilian ships damaged or destroyed since 2022, LB.ua. Rail was the way around the ports. The 26-day figure is what happens when the way around is closed too.
The night Moscow will not break down
The bulletin went out at about 08:33 Moscow time and covered 20:00 on September 17 to 08:00 on September 18, Kommersant reported. It named Astrakhan, Belgorod, Bryansk, Vladimir, Kaluga, Kursk, Oryol, Rostov, Ryazan, Smolensk, Tula and Moscow regions, Krasnodar Krai, Adygea and Crimea, and the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea. It attached a number to none of them. TASS carried the same figure and the same absence. The regions are named; it is the per-region counts that have gone, for a third night.
What the governors said has to stand in for them. Moscow's mayor Sergei Sobyanin gave a final overnight tally of 64 drones destroyed on the approaches to the capital, Izvestia reported, having posted rolling counts of 10, 15, 20 and 35 through the night. He separately said more than 350 drones were tracked towards the wider Moscow region between 20:00 and 07:00, most brought down at a distance, according to Lenta.ru. The two are not rival figures; they describe the same night at two radii.
Rostov region governor Yuri Slyusar reported more than 50 over Rostov-on-Don, Taganrog, Bataysk and five districts. Tula's Dmitry Milyayev gave 45. Kaluga's Vladislav Shapsha gave 28, Ridus reported. Ryazan's Pavel Malkov gave six, MediaRyazan reported. That is at least 193, or about 31% of the ministry's figure. The other 436 are unallocated, and there is no longer an official document that allocates them.
Kursk is the complication. Governor Alexander Khinshteyn gave 196 drones downed over his region, which would change the arithmetic sharply, but his window runs 09:00 on September 17 to 09:00 on September 18 and overlaps the ministry's at both ends. It cannot be added to the others and has not been.
Separately the ministry claimed 5,706 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones intercepted in the seven days to September 18, along with 44 guided aerial bombs, eight HIMARS rockets and two Neptune missiles, Interfax reported. That implies a claimed tempo above 800 drones a day. It is a weekly claim from the same ministry and is not reconciled with the nightly ones here.
What Russia admits was damaged
One economic facility, in one region. Khinshteyn said an energy facility in the Belovsky district was damaged "as a result of the attack", leaving eight settlements without power, and that the roof of a disused filling station at Belaya was damaged, Kursk Pravda reported. He did not name the facility, did not identify its operator and did not say whether it was struck directly or hit by falling debris. Two men were injured, aged 68 and 38, Interfax reported.
Everything else acknowledged anywhere in Russia that night was residential. At Azov, Slyusar said five homes and four vehicles were damaged, gas supply to four households was cut and power lines were brought down at two locations; windows were broken at Bataysk; eight apartment blocks and four cars were damaged in the Neklinovsky district. Nobody was hurt. Krasnodar Krai governor Veniamin Kondratyev reported two private houses and a school gymnasium damaged by debris across three municipalities. Vladimir region governor Alexander Avdeyev said the night had gone better than the one before, with no damage to residential or civil infrastructure.
Rosneft's Ryazan refinery is one of the plants this monitor tracks and Ryazan region was on the ministry's list, so it is worth saying plainly that nothing happened to it. No Russian official, no company and no Ukrainian claim put a drone anywhere near it, and Malkov's report of six drones and one damaged roof is the whole of what the region has said.
Rosaviatsia restricted operations at Nizhny Novgorod, Krasnodar, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Cherepovets during the night, Interfax reported, lifting them at Vnukovo and Domodedovo by 07:13 and at Sochi, Gelendzhik, Ulyanovsk, Volgograd and Makhachkala through the morning. None of the notices names drones; each cites flight safety, and none says when the restrictions began, so the hours lost cannot be totalled.
Three-quarters of a refinery
The clearest economic damage of the week is still at Yaroslavl, and it is worse than it looked on September 17. The unit hit at Slavneft-YANOS was the AVT-3 primary crude installation, rated at 17,140 tonnes a day, about 40% of the plant's refining capacity. The AVT-4 unit, about a third of capacity, has been under repair since the August 28 attack. Roughly three-quarters of the plant is therefore affected, and it has stopped processing altogether, The Moscow Times reported. Reuters had it first, citing four industry sources, and is not linked here.
YANOS makes 2.6mn tonnes of petrol and 4mn tonnes of diesel a year and is one of the largest suppliers to Moscow. Market participants said no YANOS fuel was offered on the domestic commodity exchange on September 17. It is the second major Russian refinery knocked out inside a month.
Every figure in those two paragraphs rests on anonymous industry sources. No named person or body stands behind any of them, and there is still no statement from Slavneft, Gazprom Neft or Rosneft on any September strike, which is now the longest-running gap in this series.
A second strike on the Rostov airfield, claimed and unconfirmed
Ukrainian monitoring channels said the Rostov-on-Don military airfield was hit for the second time in two days. Militarnyi reported it as a likely repeat strike and The Moscow Times carried it under the same framing. No Russian official has addressed it, and Slyusar's statement for the night covered civilian damage only.
Ukraine's General Staff has claimed two An-26 and one An-12 transport aircraft and three helicopters hit at that airfield. That claim attaches to the night of September 16 to 17 and is carried in the ledger against that night; it has been recirculating since without a date attached, and it has not been counted twice. The Institute for the Study of War's September 17 assessment reported Ukrainian operations against Russian air defence in the Rostov region, Kyiv Post.
Russia's own raid shrinks to 93 drones and nothing else
Ukraine's air force put the incoming package at 93 aerial targets: 46 jet-powered Shahed-type strike drones, Gerbera and Parodiya decoys and three Banderol or Dan-T loitering munitions. Seventy-two were shot down or suppressed, 13 locations were hit and debris fell on three more, Ukrainska Pravda reported. Launch points were given as Oryol and Millerovo inside Russia, occupied Donetsk, Hvardiiske in Crimea and the Sea of Azov.
There were no missiles in it at all. The night before, the same air force counted 157 drones alongside Iskander-M or KN-23 ballistic missiles, Onyx anti-ship missiles and four Kalibr. A raid of 93 drones and no missiles is the smallest package Russia has sent in weeks, and it landed on the same night it says it faced 629. One night is not a trend, and no official on either side has offered an explanation.
Ukrenergo said on the morning of September 18 that Russian attacks had caused new disconnections in the Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions, Ukrinform reported, without customer numbers. Outages in 24 settlements of the Zhytomyr region the same morning were weather and not attack. No household disconnection schedules were planned for September 18, and Ukrenergo asked consumers to limit use between 18:00 and 22:00 rather than imposing rota cuts, a materially better position than the deep winter blackouts of earlier campaigns.
Weapons and technology
The most consequential thing in this edition is not a strike. Missiles built as targets for air defence training, the RM48U, made up more than half of Russia's confirmed ballistic and hypersonic launches in July and the first eight days of August: 87 of 158 in July and 36 of 70 in early August, out of 228 in total. Production is said to be rising to a planned 480 this year from more than 200 last, while Iskander launches fell to 38 in July from more than 100 in June. Reuters reported it on September 18, citing official Ukrainian data, and is not linked here.
If that holds, Russia is spending cheap missiles to drain Ukraine's interceptors and holding its Iskanders and KN-23s back for the winter campaign on infrastructure, which is exactly the period Tusk named. Ukraine's military intelligence published its own account on September 10 saying Russia is restoring decommissioned surface-to-air and target missiles and modifying them for offensive use. No individual is named behind any of the figures, by Reuters or by anyone else.
On the drone side, monitors have counted 16 launchers at a purpose-built jet-drone site at Tsymbulova, ten for the Geran-5 and six for the Geran-4, built between July 10 and August 16, with nearly 100 solar panels powering communications and guidance as an outage backup, Focus reported. A single Geran-5 launcher runs to about 80 metres. Militarnyi carried the same count. Jet propulsion is no longer the unusual half of the drone arms race: 46 of the 93 drones sent at Ukraine on this night were jet-powered.
Ukraine's daily ballistic disclosure has still not resumed, and could not be tested on a night with no ballistic launches at all.
Arson and sabotage in Europe
No new incident on European soil in this window rises above an unexplained event, and the sabotage table is unchanged at 33 rows. Tusk's warning is a forecast rather than an incident and has not been given a row.
The one development worth recording sits outside the table's scope. The US Department of Justice charged five men on September 16 over an alleged Russian intelligence network running assassination and murder-for-hire plots, with surveillance reportedly conducted in Lithuania, Al Jazeera reported. That is a formal prosecutorial charging, the top rung of the attribution ladder this table uses, but the charges are American and the alleged target was in the United States, so it is not an attack on EU infrastructure.
Major strikes and targets
Three tables follow. Russian strikes on Ukraine first, Ukrainian strikes on Russia second, arson and sabotage in Europe third. The tables record strikes and incidents only; the corporate and macro consequences discussed above are deliberately not in them.

An enterprise with foreign investment, reported as the Cersanit ceramic tile and bathroom fixtures plant at Zviahel in the Novohrad-Volynskyi district |
Attack drones |
Zhytomyr oblast |
Bunechko confirmed that an enterprise with foreign investment was struck overnight and did not name it. The Cersanit identification rests on Forbes Ukraine citing eyewitnesses; a fire was reported and no casualties. CERSANIT, THE REGIONAL ADMINISTRATION AND THE POLISH GOVERNMENT HAVE ALL SAID NOTHING. THE LINK BETWEEN THE TWO IS AN INFERENCE AND IS NOT MADE HERE. AMENDED SEPTEMBER 15, AND THIS IS NOW THE BEST-DOCUMENTED CONSEQUENCE IN THE LEDGER: the plant HAS SUSPENDED OPERATIONS FOR SIX MONTHS. The attack severely damaged key components of the ceramic tile production cycle and the company says that under current conditions resuming production and maintaining further operations is impossible. THE ROW WAS THINLY SOURCED WHEN FILED, WITH NO OFFICIAL WILLING TO NAME THE PLANT; THE OPERATOR HAS NOW SPOKEN FOR ITSELF |

Nova Poshta logistics branch, given by Moscow as the Nerubayske centre |
Jet-powered UAV |
Odesa oblast |
Building facade, glazing and one cargo vehicle damaged, operations disrupted, two injured, per Oleh Kiper. Russia's defence ministry names the Nerubayske Nova Poshta centre and describes it as used for storing and distributing military supplies, which is a Russian claim. A postal branch in the region was also hit by a drone on the night of September 12 to 13 |

Usatovo electrical substation, Odesa |
Attack drones and S8000 Banderol |
Odesa oblast |
RUSSIAN CLAIM FOR THE TARGET. Moscow says it struck substations in Odesa and Mykolaiv supporting port and logistics infrastructure and names this one Usatovo. NO UKRAINIAN OFFICIAL HAS NAMED IT. No Ukrenergo statement and no national emergency outage schedule for September 13 |

Confirmed by the Odesa regional military administration on September 13. NO RAILWAY OR PORT FACILITY WAS NAMED. A monitoring account's list of rail targets for this night, which includes the Yuzhny port, Volniansk, Voznesensk and Pyatykhatky, does not hold: the Volniansk train was struck on September 8, the Voznesensk item traces to a September 8 strike in Mykolaiv district, Pyatykhatky is unconfirmed and NO UKRAINIAN AUTHORITY OR PORT OPERATOR HAS CONFIRMED A STRIKE ON YUZHNY OR ITS RAIL APPROACHES |

THE SECOND FATAL STRIKE ON A REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION UTILITY'S REPAIR CREW IN 48 HOURS, AFTER SUMYOBLENERGO ON SEPTEMBER 13, AND THE SECOND ATTACK ON A ZAPORIZHZHIAOBLENERGO CREW IN THIS LEDGER AFTER SEPTEMBER 9, WHICH INJURED NOBODY. NO SUBSTATION IS NAMED AND NO CONSUMER COUNT WAS PUBLISHED AMENDED SEPTEMBER 16: THE CASUALTY COUNT HAS NOT SETTLED. Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo director Andriy Stasevskyi gives one employee killed and one colleague seriously injured and hospitalised; the State Emergency Service, via lb.ua, gives one man killed and FOUR WOMEN injured and puts the fire at 200 square metres. NEITHER FIGURE HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN AND BOTH ARE CARRIED |

Port and transport infrastructure and logistics facilities, Odesa oblast |
Strike drones |
Odesa oblast |
Confirmed by Oleh Kiper, head of the Odesa oblast military administration: "Residential buildings, logistics facilities, port and transport infrastructure came under attack." A warehouse building caught fire and is described as not in use. Roofs, facades and glazing of private houses damaged, along with dozens of garages and cars. More than 50 emergency service personnel deployed. NO PORT IS NAMED AND NO OPERATOR IS NAMED. Kiper's generic wording must NOT be read as confirming Russia's separate claim about Chornomorsk |
|
14-15 Sep |
Electricity networks at Izmail and a live electrical cable at Safiany, plus a healthcare facility, 10 private garages and three apartment blocks on Prydunaiska Street |
Shahed-type drones, in an attack running from 02:59 to 05:57 |

Air strikes, drones and artillery |
Kherson oblast |
Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the Kherson oblast military administration, reports six apartment buildings, two private houses, an administrative building, a utility structure, a bus and several cars damaged. One killed and 11 wounded; 13 people evacuated. THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT ITEMISED BY FACILITY OR OPERATOR. Separately, Kherson city was completely de-energised on September 14, which the city military administration head Yaroslav Shanko attributed to an "emergency situation" whose cause specialists were still establishing, NOT TO A STRIKE, and which does not appear on Ukrenergo's list of shelling-caused outages that day |
|
14-15 Sep |
Infrastructure, housing, vehicles and farm buildings across 51 settlements |
1,095 strikes in 24 hours: 22 aviation strikes, six multiple-launch rocket artillery strikes, 242 artillery strikes and 825 drone attacks, predominantly FPV |
Zaporizhzhia oblast |
Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia regional military administration, reports 74 separate reports of damage. Two killed and one injured. This is the following 24 hours to the 876 strikes on 54 settlements in the row above, not a revision of it. THE 825 FPV DRONES HERE ARE COUNTED AGAIN INSIDE THE GENERAL STAFF'S NATIONAL FIGURE OF 10,368 KAMIKAZE DRONES FOR THE SAME PERIOD |
|
15 Sep |
Claimed by Moscow only: a ro-ro ferry and a dry cargo vessel at Chornomorsk port, two cargo ships in the port of Odesa, a logistics centre at Velyka Balka, and railway infrastructure in western oblasts |
Not stated |
Odesa oblast and unspecified |
CLAIMED BY RUSSIA'S DEFENCE MINISTRY ONLY, in a briefing at 08:25 Moscow time, which says the two vessels were delivering foreign military product and were struck before discharging. NO UKRAINIAN OFFICIAL, PORT AUTHORITY OR COMPANY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT CHORNOMORSK IN THIS WINDOW, AND NO VESSEL NAME, FLAG, OPERATOR OR CARGO IS GIVEN. The ministry names no oblast for Velyka Balka, of which there is more than one, and names no station, line or depot for the railway claim, which Ukrzaliznytsia has not confirmed and for which no delay notice was issued. A SEPARATE AND EARLIER MINISTRY CLAIM, ALSO UNCONFIRMED, PUTS TWO CARGO SHIPS HIT BY GERAN-4 SIKER DRONES IN THE PORT OF ODESA WITH FIRES ON BOTH. That is a different claim from the Chornomorsk one and the two must not be merged; neither has any Ukrainian confirmation and no vessel is named in either |

14 Sep |
Warehouses of an agricultural enterprise in the centre of Pryluky, plus 10 shops, eight private houses, seven apartment blocks and three administrative buildings |
Preliminarily a Banderol loitering munition, per Suspilne Chernihiv |
Chernihiv oblast |
THE ONLY FATAL STRIKE ON AN ECONOMIC FACILITY IN THIS WINDOW. The warehouses were destroyed by fire and THREE PEOPLE WERE KILLED. THE WOUNDED COUNT IS UNRECONCILED ACROSS THREE OFFICIALS: Chernihiv regional police gave seven at 11:13; Vladyslav Stoianov, head of Pryluky district police, gave 12 by 14:00; and Volodymyr Chernov, head of the Pryluky city military administration, gave 13 by 14:40. All three figures stand. THE ENTERPRISE IS NOT NAMED BY ANY SOURCE. Damage was also reported in the Novhorod-Siverskyi, Koriukivka, Semenivka and Snovsk communities of the same oblast AMENDED SEPTEMBER 16: A FOURTH WOUNDED FIGURE. Kyiv Independent, in its daily toll published on September 15, gives three killed and FIFTEEN injured at the warehouses, against the 7, 12 and 13 already recorded here from three officials. The death toll of three is constant across all four accounts. NO SOURCE RECONCILES THE WOUNDED COUNTS AND ALL FOUR ARE CARRIED |
|
14-15 Sep |
Civil infrastructure, houses and non-residential premises across 21 settlements in 13 communities, including Svesa, Sumy, Novoslobidske, Berezivka, Krasnopillia, Shostka, Seredyna-Buda, Shalyhyne and Esman |
Nearly 110 strikes |
Sumy oblast |
Reported by the Sumy oblast military administration. Six civilians wounded, among them a 15-year-old boy. NO NAMED FACILITY AND NO OPERATOR. Sumy oblast also lost power in this window on Ukrenergo's account, and the Sumyoblenergo driver-electrician killed on September 13 was in the same oblast |

14 Sep |
Locomotives and locomotive infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Mykolaiv and Odesa oblasts |
Jet-powered Geran-4 drones |
Five oblasts |
CLAIMED BY RUSSIA'S DEFENCE MINISTRY ONLY, recorded in ISW's campaign assessment of September 14. The ministry claimed the trains were military and that the locomotive infrastructure supports Ukrainian military logistics; ISW says in terms that it is UNABLE TO VERIFY THAT CHARACTERISATION. NO NUMBER OF LOCOMOTIVES, NO DAMAGE DESCRIPTION AND NO RESPONSE FROM UKRZALIZNYTSIA. Carried from September 14, when the assessment could not be retrieved and the claim was left out. The five oblasts are Ukrainian-controlled or contested, not occupied |

by 15 Sep |
Cumulative: about 2.1mn square metres of Class A and B+ warehouse space nationally, of which 1.5mn square metres in the Kyiv region; plus a Varus warehouse at Dnipro, an EVA sorting centre at Odesa and a Nova Poshta terminal in Odesa region in recent days |
Cumulative effect of the campaign against logistics since February 2022 |
Ukraine |
NOT A SINGLE STRIKE BUT THE RUNNING TOTAL, AND THE ONLY SECTOR-WIDE ESTIMATE ANYBODY HAS PUBLISHED. Ruslan Shostak, co-owner of the EVA and Varus retail chains and president of Terwin Corporation, says Ukraine has lost nearly 50% of its Class A and B+ warehouse space since the start of the full-scale invasion. Total high-class stock stands at about 5mn square metres, including about 800,000 square metres commissioned since the war began, of which about 2.9mn square metres remains operational. He explicitly rejects circulating claims that Ukraine has lost as much as 90% of its warehouse capacity. Tens of millions of square metres of lower-grade warehousing held by industrial and commercial firms are not in these figures. SHOSTAK IS AN INTERESTED PARTY TWICE OVER, AS AN OWNER OF DAMAGED ASSETS AND AS A SECTOR REPRESENTATIVE. The EVA sorting centre at Odesa is recorded as DESTROYED |

Volyn oblast |
The locomotive caught fire after an overnight strike and emergency services put the fire out, with nobody hurt, per Kyiv Independent.

Kyiv |
Damaged in the same daylong wave that hit two filling stations and warehouse premises in the capital. Its partner UCloud confirmed that its Kyiv data centre was affected and the National Paralympic Committee website went down, expected back within several hours, per Kyiv Independent. NO DAMAGE ASSESSMENT, NO OUTAGE DURATION, NO CUSTOMER COUNT AND NO STATEMENT FROM BEMOBILE ITSELF. The first data centre in this ledger |

Universal Logistic pharmaceutical warehouse, Boryspil district |
Drones |
Kyiv region |
SINGLE-SOURCED TO THE CHOMIAK AND HOMANS SITUATION REPORT OF SEPTEMBER 15, which says the warehouse was attacked on two consecutive days and describes it as one of the largest medicines warehouses in Ukraine, supplying the country's largest distributors. NO OBLAST OFFICIAL, NO EMERGENCY SERVICE, NO COMPANY STATEMENT AND NO DAMAGE DESCRIPTION WAS FOUND ANYWHERE. Separate from the September 3 Biokon complex and the September 7-8 unnamed logistics complex, both also in the Boryspil district |

Cumulative: port infrastructure facilities and civilian ships attacked since February 2022 |
Cumulative |
Nationwide |
RUNNING TOTAL, NOT A STRIKE. 1,173 port infrastructure facilities and 274 civilian ships attacked since the start of the full-scale invasion, per reconstruction, infrastructure and transport minister Mykola Kalashnyk, who said measures had been worked out with the navy, the air force and port workers on protecting people and ships and on insurance and logistics. NO DAMAGE VALUE, NO SPLIT BY PORT, NO TONNAGE AND NO COUNT OF VESSELS LOST AS OPPOSED TO DAMAGED. Reached this ledger through the Chomiak and Homans situation report of September 15 rather than from the ministry directly |

Cumulative: locomotives destroyed or damaged nationally |
Cumulative |
Nationwide |
RUNNING TOTAL, NOT A STRIKE. More than 500 locomotives destroyed or damaged across the full-scale war, more than half of them since January 2026, per foreign minister Andrii Sybiha, who asked Western allies to help finance replacements built to the 1520mm gauge. NO SPLIT BETWEEN DESTROYED AND DAMAGED, NO BREAKDOWN BY OBLAST, NO REPLACEMENT COST AND NO FIGURE OF ITS OWN FROM UKRZALIZNYTSIA. A government figure, not the operator's |

Generation facility of 36.6 MW, operator not named, Sumy oblast |
Not stated |
Sumy oblast |
DESTROYED, WITH NO GENERATION LEFT ON IT, per the Association of Distributed and Manoeuvrable Generation Entities, an association of Ukrainian private power producers, which says the plant belonged to one of its members and that its loss means approximately a quarter of the region's available generation. THE ASSOCIATION NAMES NEITHER THE FACILITY, ITS OPERATOR NOR THE SETTLEMENT, AND NO STATE BODY HAS CONFIRMED ANY OF IT: not the energy ministry, not Ukrenergo and not the Sumy oblast military administration. The association says the site had already been hit about two days earlier. Ekonomichna Pravda gives the region's total generating capacity as around 145 MW. THE WORD USED IS DESTROYED, NOT COMPLETELY DESTROYED, AND THE QUARTER IS OF AVAILABLE GENERATION, NOT OF INSTALLED CAPACITY AMENDED AT PASS ONE, SEPTEMBER 17: THE DESTRUCTION IS NOW STATED AND SO IS THE SHARE OF THE REGION'S CAPACITY. Ukraine's energy ministry is reported as saying a further Russian strike completely destroyed the 36.6 MW generation facility, eliminating about a quarter of the Sumy region's generating capacity. THE OPERATOR IS STILL NOT NAMED AND THE FACILITY IS STILL NOT NAMED. This closes the open item carried from September 15 and 16, which recorded no state confirmation.

Overnight raid on Ukraine: no economic facility named as hit by any Ukrainian source |
80 drones including jet-powered Shahed variants, Gerbera decoys and other decoys |
Nationwide |
Ukraine's air force said 63 of the 80 were shot down or suppressed, with hits recorded at seven locations and debris falls at two more. THAT IS AN INTERCEPTION CLAIM AND NOT A COUNT, AND NO UKRAINIAN SOURCE NAMES ANY ECONOMIC FACILITY AMONG THE SEVEN HIT LOCATIONS. Russia's defence ministry separately claimed in its morning briefing of September 16 that it had struck military-industrial facilities and ports in Kyiv and the Odesa region; IT NAMES NO FACILITY, GIVES NO DAMAGE DESCRIPTION, AND NO UKRAINIAN OFFICIAL, PORT AUTHORITY OR COMPANY HAS CONFIRMED ANY OF IT. Casualties across Ukraine for the same night ran to at least nine killed and 36 injured, including five killed in a drone strike on a bus, per Kyiv Independent; they are recorded here only because the raid itself is recorded, and civilian casualties are otherwise outside this ledger. THIS IS THE FIRST NIGHT SINCE TRUMP'S ANNOUNCEMENT OF A MUTUAL HALT ON ENERGY TARGETS ON WHICH NO ENERGY ASSET ON EITHER SIDE HAS BEEN REPORTED STRUCK BY NAME |

A railway station and a diesel locomotive in the Mykolaiv region; the locomotive of a Kyiv to Mykolaiv passenger train; an electric locomotive at Kovel; a warehouse in Kyiv's Sviatoshynskyi district |
Drones, including jet-propelled types |
Mykolaiv region, Volyn region and Kyiv city |
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the locomotive of a regular passenger train was struck in the Mykolaiv region and that a railway station and a diesel locomotive were damaged, that Ukrzaliznytsia warned people in time so nobody was hurt, and that nearly 170 passengers were evacuated. He said an electric locomotive at Kovel was also struck and that the Kherson, Donetsk and Poltava regions came under attack, adding: "Russian attacks on logistics and critical infrastructure continue unabated." Ukrzaliznytsia separately said a passenger train travelling from Kyiv to Mykolaiv was hit and that crew and passengers had been evacuated in advance with no injuries. In Kyiv's Sviatoshynskyi district a warehouse caught fire after drone debris fell, injuring one person; local authorities did not identify the owner. THE WAREHOUSE FIRE IS FROM FALLING DEBRIS AND NOT A CONFIRMED DIRECT HIT. THE PRESIDENT IS A PARTY TO THE CONFLICT AND HIS POST IS ALSO AN EXPLICIT LOBBYING PITCH FOR A US SANCTIONS BILL.

Energy infrastructure in the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson and Cherkasy regions |
Shelling and hostilities, weapon types not specified |
Six regions |
Ukraine's energy ministry said that on September 16 hostilities and Russian shelling of energy infrastructure left some consumers in the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson and Cherkasy regions without electricity. NO FACILITY, OPERATOR, MEGAWATT FIGURE OR CUSTOMER COUNT IS GIVEN AND THE MINISTRY IS A PARTY TO THE CONFLICT. THIS IS A DIFFERENT DAY AND A DIFFERENT SET OF REGIONS FROM THE SEPTEMBER 15 ROW, WHICH NAMED VOLYN, DONETSK, ZAPORIZHZHIA, KHARKIV AND KHERSON: SUMY AND CHERKASY ARE NEW AND VOLYN HAS DROPPED OUT.

Energy infrastructure in the Volyn, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv and Kherson regions; an energy facility in Zaporizhzhia region; a filling station in Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district; an operating poultry farm in Odesa region |
Drones and shelling |
Five regions, Kyiv city and Odesa region |
Ukraine's energy ministry said on September 15 that shelling of energy infrastructure had left consumers without power in the Volyn, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv and Kherson regions, and that a drone attack on an energy facility in Zaporizhzhia region injured two energy workers. NEITHER THE FACILITY NOR THE OPERATOR IS NAMED AND NO MEGAWATT OR CUSTOMER FIGURE IS GIVEN. The Zaporizhzhia regional military administration separately reported an infrastructure facility damaged, a fire and one person injured. In Kyiv drones hit a filling station in the Holosiivskyi district; mayor Vitali Klitschko put the morning attack's casualties at 11, six of them taken to hospital, AND THE RUNNING COUNT ROSE THROUGH THE DAY FROM FOUR TO SIX TO ONE KILLED AND SIX WOUNDED BEFORE REACHING THAT FIGURE. The Odesa regional military administration said an operating poultry farm was hit, that some poultry died and that a roof carrying solar panels was damaged, and reported damage to civilian infrastructure including residential buildings and logistics, port and transport facilities, with roofs, facades, windows and dozens of garages and cars affected; NO TERMINAL OR OPERATOR IS NAMED AND NO LOADING SUSPENSION IS REPORTED. All of the above is from the Ukraine daily sitrep compiled by Bohdan Chomiak for September 15, supplied from Ben's clip folder, which aggregates Ukrainian official statements. IF THE LEDGER ALREADY CARRIES A ROW FOR THE NIGHT OF 14 TO SEPTEMBER 15, THIS SHOULD BE MERGED INTO IT AS AN AMENDMENT RATHER THAN ADDED AS A SEPARATE ROW |

Ukrzaliznytsia locomotive at the Yahodyn rail junction, about 2 km from the Polish border |
Jet-powered Geran-series drone |
Volyn region |
Euromaidan Press reports a locomotive struck in Volyn region near the Polish border and puts cumulative losses at more than 500 locomotives damaged or destroyed since the full-scale invasion, more than 250 of them in 2026. Foreign minister Andrii Sybiha said: "Ukraine's railway keeps the country moving," and appealed to partners for replacement 1,520mm-gauge locomotives and financing. Russia's defence ministry said it struck railway infrastructure. THE ACCOUNT THAT A DIPLOMATIC TRAIN CARRYING BORIS JOHNSON, JONATHAN POWELL, CARL BILDT AND DAVID PETRAEUS HAD PASSED SHORTLY BEFORE, THAT PASSENGERS WERE EVACUATED ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE IMPACT AND THAT POLISH PRIME MINISTER DONALD TUSK CONVENED AN EMERGENCY MEETING RESTS ON A SINGLE LOW-AUTHORITY OUTLET AND IS NOT USED AS FACT. Ukrzaliznytsia is reported to have suggested a diplomatic train may have been the target; NO UKRZALIZNYTSIA OR POLISH GOVERNMENT STATEMENT HAS BEEN OBTAINED DIRECTLY. THE DATE IS NOW CONTESTED AND IS NOT RESOLVED: Andriy Demchenko, spokesman for Ukraine's State Border Guard Service, dates the Yahodyn strike on a filling station near the crossing and on a passenger train on the Kyiv to Warsaw line to SEPTEMBER 13, against the September 15 of the Euromaidan Press account. THEY MAY BE TWO SEPARATE STRIKES ON THE SAME JUNCTION OR ONE STRIKE CARRYING TWO DATES. Demchenko says Belarus has reactivated relay transmitters that boost the signal for Russian Shahed and Gerbera drones and that they enabled this attack. THAT IS A UKRAINIAN STATE AGENCY AND A PARTY TO THE CONFLICT AND NO INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION OF THE RELAYS EXISTS |

In Brovary district a fire at a private property damaged a utility building, agricultural equipment, semi-trailers and a car. In Fastivskyi district homes and commercial infrastructure were damaged. Per the State Emergency Service and the Kyiv Oblast Military Administration. NO NAMED ENERGY, PORT, GAS OR LOGISTICS FACILITY IS AMONG THE TARGETS. CASUALTIES AND VOLUME UPDATED AT PASS ONE FROM BEN'S CLIPS: Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko put the capital's injured at 16, including two children, at least nine of them hospitalised, and Kyiv Independent first reported at least 12 before revising the figure at 02:29 on September 17. The Odesa City Military Administration reported six injured there including two children and damage to a 19-storey residential building. THE RAID TOTALS ARE NOW ON THE RECORD: 157 strike drones were launched, MORE THAN HALF OF THEM JET-POWERED, alongside ballistic, cruise and anti-ship missiles; Ukrainian air defence says it neutralised 131 aerial targets but recorded hits at 36 locations, with Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia and Odesa the principal targets, and 18 people reported injured nationwide. THE 131 IS AN INTERCEPTION CLAIM BY A PARTY TO THE CONFLICT AND NOT A COUNT. The 36-location figure is corroborated by a Ukrainska Pravda headline. The threat ran from about midnight to 07:00 with ballistic missiles over Kyiv at about 02:13 and eight further explosions at about 02:21. TASS carried a headline saying Russian forces struck metallurgical enterprises and Ukrainian energy facilities, WITH NO BODY TEXT, NO PLANT NAMED AND NO DAMAGE DESCRIBED, AND IT IS NOT USED. NO RUSSIAN DEFENCE MINISTRY STATEMENT FOR THIS NIGHT WAS OTHERWISE RETRIEVABLE AMENDED AT PASS TWO, SEPTEMBER 17: THE AIR FORCE HAS NOW PUBLISHED, WHICH CLOSES THE PASS ONE GAP AND RE-SOURCES THE DESK-NOTE FIGURES TO A NAMED ORIGINAL. Ukraine's air force said the attack began at 18:00 on September 16 and that, on preliminary data as of 08:00 on September 17, air defences shot down or suppressed 131 of more than 170 aerial targets, comprising 124 Shahed-type strike and decoy drones and seven Banderol missiles, with hits recorded at 36 locations and debris falls at five more. It put the launch at 157 Shahed-type drones from Oryol, Millerovo, occupied Donetsk and Crimea, Oniks anti-ship missiles from the Kursk region, Iskander-M and KN-23 ballistic missiles from the Bryansk and Voronezh regions, four Kalibr cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea and ten Banderol missiles from airspace over the Sea of Azov. THAT REMAINS AN INTERCEPTION CLAIM BY A PARTY TO THE CONFLICT AND NOT A COUNT, BUT THE 157 NOW CARRIES A NAMED SOURCE WHERE AT PASS ONE IT RESTED ON A DESK NOTE WITH NO OUTLET AND NO URL. WITHDRAWN AT PASS TWO: THE CLAIM THAT MORE THAN HALF THE DRONES WERE JET-POWERED IS NOT IN THE AIR FORCE BREAKDOWN, HAS NO NAMED SOURCE AND HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE COPY. THE CASPIAN SEA APPEARS BOTH IN THIS UKRAINIAN LAUNCH ACCOUNT AND IN RUSSIA'S OWN LIST OF WATERS OVER WHICH IT CLAIMS TO HAVE DOWNED DRONES THE SAME NIGHT UPDATED SEPTEMBER 18: Kyivvodokanal said the raid disrupted water supply on the left bank and reduced pressure in parts of the right bank, and that supply had been fully restored by the time it reported. |

Overnight raid on Ukraine: 13 locations hit, no economic facility named as hit by any Ukrainian source |
93 aerial targets: 46 jet-powered Shahed-type strike drones, Gerbera and Parodiya decoys and three Banderol or Dan-T loitering munitions. No missiles of any kind |
Nationwide |
Ukraine's air force said 72 of the 93 were shot down or suppressed, that 13 locations were hit and that debris fell on three more. Launch points given as Oryol and Millerovo in Russia, occupied Donetsk, Hvardiiske in Crimea and the Sea of Azov. THE ABSENCE OF MISSILES IS THE POINT: this is the first raid in this ledger's recent run with no cruise and no ballistic component at all, against 157 drones plus Iskander-M or KN-23 ballistic missiles, Onyx anti-ship missiles and four Kalibr the night before. THE DAILY BALLISTIC COUNT REMAINS SUSPENDED and could not be tested on a night with no ballistic launches |

The Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi railway bridge, Odesa region, on the rail route carrying grain to the Danube ports |
Not stated by any source |
Odesa region |
Ukrzaliznytsia said "The situation is very difficult. We are working on restoring the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi bridge" and that about 3,000 grain-laden railcars were delayed, with delivery to the Danube ports taking a minimum of 26 days on alternative routes while the bridge is out. NO UKRAINIAN OFFICIAL IS NAMED BY ANY OUTLET: the quote is attributed to the company and not to a person. Reuters reported it first and cannot be linked. WHAT WAS DAMAGED ON THE BRIDGE IS NOT STATED ANYWHERE, nor is the time of the strike or the weapon |

Drones and shelling, types not specified |
Four regions |
Ukrenergo said on the morning of September 18 that Russian attacks had caused new disconnections in the four regions and that crews were restoring supply where security conditions allowed. NO CUSTOMER NUMBERS WERE GIVEN. Separately, outages affecting 24 settlements of the Zhytomyr region on the same morning were attributed to weather and not to an attack. Ukraine's energy ministry said no household disconnection schedules were planned for September 18, and Ukrenergo asked consumers to limit use between 18:00 and 22:00 |

A commuter train near Lypkuvativka station, Nova Vodolaha hromada, Kharkiv region, operated by Ukrzaliznytsia |
A drone, preliminarily assessed as a Geran-4 |
Kharkiv region |
ONE PASSENGER KILLED, THE FIRST DEATH ON A TRAIN IN THIS LEDGER. Struck at about 10:30. The head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, Oleh Syniehubov, said a man was killed and seven injured; the Kharkiv regional prosecutor's office later put the injured at eight with burns, bruises and wounds, and classified the strike as a war crime. THE EIGHT REPLACES THE SEVEN AND IS NOT ADDED TO IT. THE DEAD MAN'S AGE IS GIVEN AS BOTH 30 AND 40 IN DIFFERENT UPDATES AND IS NOT SETTLED. Two carriages burned. Ukrzaliznytsia said its monitoring group detected the threat and an evacuation was announced, and that two passengers were seriously hurt because they did not move a safe distance from the train during it, restating its rule to move at least 200 metres away where there is no shelter. THE LINE OR ROUTE IS NOT NAMED BY ANY OUTLET. Survivors were taken on to Nova Vodolaha by bus. NOT TO BE CONFLATED WITH THE SEPTEMBER 9 STRIKE ON THE KHARKIV TO IZIUM LINE AT ISKRA STATION, WHICH INJURED EIGHT AND KILLED NOBODY |

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.

Drones, identified as AN-196 Liutyi by the Special Operations Forces and hinted at as FP-1 by the manufacturer Fire Point |
Yamalo-Nenets |
The deepest strike of the war. Governor Dmitry Artyukhov confirmed a drone attack on an industrial facility in Novy Urengoy and said falling debris caused a fire; Militarnyi and the Special Operations Forces name the Purovsky plant at Purpe, about 200 km away, and the two accounts have not been reconciled. Personnel evacuated in advance and gas flared off through the stacks. No casualties and no confirmed shutdown; Militarnyi says it is not known which units were damaged or by how much capacity was reduced. Purovsky processes 10.8mn tonnes a year of de-ethanised gas condensate; the Novy Urengoy plant's design capacity is about 19.5mn tonnes a year.

Yamalo-Nenets |
The liquefied hydrocarbon gas drying unit, which removes residual water and methanol from product, was struck, per Ukraine's Special Operations Forces, with coordinates published as 65.086866, 77.816655 and damage confirmed by satellite analysis from the CyberBoroshno project. Stated as more than 3,000 km from Ukraine's state border. NO fire, shutdown or throughput loss stated by any source and no capacity figure published. No Russian acknowledgement and no Novatek comment. A separate facility from the Novy Urengoy plant. DATE UNSETTLED: the Militarnyi article body says September 10, its index September 9 and EA WorldView September 9 |

Ryazan oil refinery, Rosneft, which supplies Moscow with fuel |
Drones |
Ryazan region |
Full facility operations suspended. Unit AVT-6, also labelled CDU-6, of 8mn tonnes a year or about 160,000 b/d and described as almost half the plant's capacity, caught fire and was shut down; unit AVT-4, also labelled CDU-4, of 4mn tonnes a year, was also shut down; unit AVT-3 has been under maintenance since mid-May. Repairs could take up to several weeks. The refinery processed 13.1mn tonnes in 2024, 4.9% of Russia's refining volume. Also struck on May 15 and July 29 2026 and down about two or three weeks after the July strike. Two unnamed industry sources; Rosneft did not respond to a request for comment and no Russian official body has acknowledged the shutdown |

Leningrad region |
A satellite damage assessment by the Absolutely Reliable Source project finds unit ELOU-AT-1 of 1.7mn tonnes a year hit and shut down, unit ELOU-AT-6 of 7.6mn tonnes a year hit and shut down, unit ELOU-AVT-2 of 2.8mn tonnes a year already under repair from an earlier strike, and secondary units LCh/24/9, LCh/24/10 and LG-35/8-300B affected. The assessment states that more than 12 million tonnes 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 |

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 |

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. Fire identified by the Russian outlet ASTRA through OSINT analysis, with imagery from Exilenova+. Capacity is reported three ways: about 4.8mn tonnes a year per the Kyiv Independent, about 5.8mn tonnes processed in 2024 or 2.2% of Russian refining volume per Militarnyi, and up to 7mn tonnes a year per NOELREPORTS. The 2024 throughput figure is used. Rosneft has not commented and Ukraine's military has not claimed the strike AMENDED SEPTEMBER 16, AND THIS SUPERSEDES THE SENTENCE ABOVE SAYING UKRAINE'S MILITARY HAS NOT CLAIMED THE STRIKE. Ukraine's General Staff said on September 14 that it had been established that a PRIMARY OIL REFINING UNIT and a SECTION OF THE MAIN PIPELINE were damaged at the refinery in the September 11 strike. That is the first damage assessment of any kind for this row. IT IS ONE BELLIGERENT'S CLAIM AND NOT CONFIRMATION: Rosneft has still said nothing, no Russian official has named the refinery and no throughput effect is reported by anyone |

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 SEPTEMBER 11. 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 |

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. Two people hospitalised after a missile strike on a residential building. Ukrainian sources say the Volgograd oil refinery was the target; neither side has confirmed that and it is not entered here as a refinery strike. AMK Mapping counts about 12 Flamingos launched at Samara and Volgograd oblasts overnight, of which about two to four flew at Volgograd, with at least one impact and a fire; the eight to ten aimed at Samara were all intercepted. UPDATED SEPTEMBER 11: the monitoring account AMK Mapping reports the target of the Flamingo strike as a workshop of the US-sanctioned Volgogradpromproekt plant, which makes ferroene-based combustion catalysts and related chemical production technology. NOT CONFIRMED BY ANY OFFICIAL OR BY THE COMPANY. AMENDED SEPTEMBER 14: satellite imagery published on September 13 by the Exilenova+ monitoring community shows one FP-5 Flamingo destroyed a 20-by-15-metre section of the plant's main workshop. The plant makes organophosphorus compounds including OSF, a combustion-rate modifier for solid rocket propellant, and has been under US sanctions since December 2023. THE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT IS MONITORING IMAGERY, NOT AN OFFICIAL OR COMPANY STATEMENT |

Tolyattikauchuk, Tolyatti, which makes synthetic rubbers, monomers, fractions and high-octane petrol additives |
Long-range drones of the 1st Separate Unmanned Systems Forces Centre, an estimated 880 km |
Samara region |
CONFIRMED BY UKRAINE'S GENERAL STAFF AND UNMANNED SYSTEMS FORCES, which say the synthetic rubbers go into solid rocket fuel for short-range and ballistic missiles and that the extent of damage is being established. 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 |

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 |

Black Sea |
Zelenskiy 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 NAMED AND NO DAMAGE DESCRIPTION EXISTS. Separately Ukraine's Navy says that, with the Main Intelligence Directorate detecting the target, it destroyed a Russian unmanned surface vessel and calls this the first naval battle between unmanned surface vessels. 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. AMENDED SEPTEMBER 14: the operator, Slavyansk Eco, has now confirmed on its own Telegram channel that fire sites were recorded across the entire territory of the enterprise, and the Krasnodar Krai operational headquarters has said the same. Militarnyi, reading satellite imagery published for September 14, says TWO OIL STORAGE TANKS WERE DESTROYED, with visible damage to neighbouring tanks. NO SOURCE ON EITHER SIDE SAYS PRODUCTION HAS BEEN HALTED. CAPACITY IS GIVEN FOUR DIFFERENT WAYS ACROSS FOUR OUTLETS, FROM 3.3MN TO 6MN TONNES A YEAR. FURTHER AMENDED SEPTEMBER 15: Euromaidan Press, citing Militarnyi, gives design capacity as about 5.2mn tonnes a year with actual volumes one to two million tonnes lower, and notes the refinery runs on purchased or tolling crude because it has no crude production base of its own. Ukraine's General Staff calls it "part of the energy rear of the Russian Federation and involved in supplying the armed forces of the aggressor". IT HAS BEEN STRUCK AT LEAST FOUR TIMES BEFORE: April 27 2024, May 19 2024 after which it suspended operations, January 26 2026 when elements of the primary refining unit were damaged, and June 28 2026. It supplies fuel including to occupied Crimea FURTHER AMENDED AT PASS TWO, SEPTEMBER 15: Ukraine's General Staff now gives a damage assessment of THREE STORAGE TANKS DESTROYED AND EIGHT DAMAGED on September 13, per ArmyInform. ISW, assessing satellite imagery published on September 13, says the strike LIKELY DESTROYED TWO OIL TANKS. THE TWO COUNTS ARE NOT RECONCILED, no Russian official or company has given a count, and both are carried. AMENDED AT PASS ONE, SEPTEMBER 17: THE TANK COUNT IS NOW STATED. Ukraine's General Staff said on September 15 that it had confirmed the destruction of three tanks and damage to eight more at the Slavyansk ECO refinery at Sloviansk-on-Kuban following the attack of September 13. THAT IS A CLAIM BY A PARTY TO THE CONFLICT AND NO RUSSIAN OFFICIAL OR COMPANY HAS CONFIRMED IT, but it is the first itemised figure and it closes the unreconciled tank count carried from earlier editions.

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 August 10. AMENDED SEPTEMBER 14: the official is Radmir Belyaev, mayor of Nizhnekamsk, who spoke of an ignition at one of the city's enterprises and said industrial and civil objects were struck. HE STILL DID NOT NAME THE ENTERPRISE AMENDED SEPTEMBER 16: UKRAINE HAS NOW NAMED THE LOCATION, THOUGH NOT THE PLANT. Ukraine's General Staff said on September 14 that fires had been recorded at two refineries, at Slavyansk-on-Kuban and at Nizhnekamsk. That is the first Ukrainian claim to name Nizhnekamsk. THE GENERAL STAFF DOES NOT STATE WHICH NIGHT IT IS CLAIMING AND IT IS NOT ESTABLISHED THAT IT MEANS THIS STRIKE RATHER THAN A LATER ONE. The claim is recorded here rather than entered as a second row, to avoid double-counting a single event. THE PLANT IS STILL NOT NAMED BY EITHER SIDE AND THE TANECO IDENTIFICATION STILL RESTS ON MONITORING CHANNELS ALONE |

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 September 13 that Ukrainian forces struck the diesel fuel trucks that supply the plant on September 11, 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 September 9 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 September 1 that generator diesel could run down within about ten days.

Russia |
Rosaviatsia imposed temporary restrictions on arrivals and departures. Sochi closed from 22:35 MSK on September 13 and cycled shut and open through the night before restrictions were lifted. Delay counts as reported: more than 100 delayed arrivals at Sheremetyevo, more than 70 at Vnukovo, about 100 at Pulkovo, and more than 60 at Sochi plus dozens of cancellations. NO ROSAVIATSIA STATEMENT WITH A NAMED SPOKESMAN WAS FOUND AND THE DELAY COUNTS ARE FLIGHT-BOARD TALLIES RATHER THAN AN OFFICIAL RELEASE |

A 92N6 radar of an S-400 Triumf system at Sochi; radar stations at Litizhi, Trostenchyk and Lipovtsi and three relay stations at Rokhmanovoe, Krasne Stiazhe and Kamen; a navigation radio system near Saki airfield; drone launch and storage sites and a drone control centre at Novohrodivka |
Not stated |
Krasnodar Krai, Bryansk region, occupied Crimea, Kursk region and occupied Donetsk |
CLAIMED BY UKRAINE'S GENERAL STAFF ONLY, in a statement published at 09:19 UTC on September 14. The General Staff describes the 92N6 as the multifunction radar that tracks aerial targets and guides the system's missiles. NO RUSSIAN OFFICIAL OR COMPANY HAS ACKNOWLEDGED ANY OF IT. The monitoring channels Supernova and Krymsky Veter separately place an S-400 at Dagomys in the Lazarevskoye district, a different location from the General Staff's, and it is not established whether these are one event or two |

Syzran oil refinery, Rosneft, design capacity 8.5mn tonnes of crude a year or about 170,000 b/d |
Drones |
Samara region |
Vyacheslav Fedorishchev, governor of Samara region, confirmed that "damage was sustained by one of the industrial facilities as well as several residential buildings" with no casualties, and DID NOT NAME THE REFINERY. Every identification of the target as the Syzran refinery, and the report that storage tanks caught fire, comes from the monitoring channels Exilenova+, Supernova+ and Astra as relayed by Meduza, Kyiv Post, the Kyiv Independent and ua.news; the Kyiv Independent says the details could not be verified and ua.news says there is not yet sufficient independent confirmation of which facility or tank was damaged. NO SOURCE ON EITHER SIDE REPORTS A PRODUCTION HALT OR A RUN-RATE CHANGE. UKRAINE'S GENERAL STAFF DID NOT CLAIM THIS STRIKE: its 08:00 report names only two unspecified important enemy facilities. 2024 throughput was 4.3mn tonnes, yielding 1.5mn tonnes of diesel, 800,000 tonnes of gasoline and 700,000 tonnes of fuel oil. CLARIFIED SEPTEMBER 15: the Kyiv Independent reports Fedorishchev as saying OVER 40 UKRAINIAN DRONES WERE SHOT DOWN OVER THE REGION, which is an interception figure and not a count of the attacking force. It also records that windows were shattered in several residential buildings AMENDED AT PASS TWO, SEPTEMBER 15: UKRAINE HAS NOW CLAIMED THE STRIKE. At 12:38 Kyiv time the General Staff said "hits with subsequent fire" were recorded at the refinery, damaging the AVT-6 primary crude processing unit and the tank farm, and gave the plant's throughput as about 8.9mn tonnes of crude a year, per ArmyInform. IT NAMED NO WEAPON. That figure does not match the 8.5mn tonne design capacity in this row and neither is withdrawn. THE CLAIM IS ONE BELLIGERENT'S AND IS NOT CONFIRMATION: no Russian official has named the refinery, Rosneft has said nothing, and no production halt is reported by anyone. AMENDED AT PASS TWO, SEPTEMBER 16: STILL NO PRODUCTION HALT. A Russia-only sweep run at 10:00 UTC on September 16 again found no report from any source that Syzran has suspended processing after this strike. AN UNDATED AGENCY ITEM DESCRIBING THE REFINERY AS HAVING SUSPENDED OPERATIONS AFTER A DRONE ATTACK IS IN CIRCULATION AND IS NOT USED: it refers internally to attacks in 2024 and to 2024 processing averages and is assessed as an older article carrying no 2026 date. The two dated republications on Syzran shutdowns are from May 25 and July 13 this year and are both historical. AMENDED AT PASS ONE, SEPTEMBER 17: THE HALT IS NOW REPORTED. Three industry sources told a wire agency that Syzran paused operations on September 16, that the CDU-6/AVT-6 crude distillation unit, 71% of processing capacity, was damaged in this strike and needs at least a month to repair, and that the second unit, 29%, was already down after a July attack. THE SOURCES ARE UNNAMED AND ROSNEFT HAS NOT COMMENTED. This closes the open item carried from September 15 and 16, which twice recorded no production halt. UNIT DETAIL ADDED AT PASS ONE: the damaged main crude distillation unit has a capacity of 17,100 tonnes a day and the second unit, already under repair after a July attack, 7,100 tonnes a day. THE UNIT IS NAMED CDU-6 BY THE WIRE AGENCY, THE MOSCOW TIMES AND UKRAINSKA PRAVDA AND AVT-6 BY UKRAINE'S GENERAL STAFF AND UKRAINIAN CHANNELS; THE 71% AND 29% SPLIT IS IDENTICAL IN BOTH, SO THEY ARE ALMOST CERTAINLY THE SAME UNIT UNDER RUSSIAN AND INTERNATIONAL NOMENCLATURE, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN SILENTLY HARMONISED. The refinery design capacity is 8.5mn tonnes of crude a year, WHICH RESOLVES THE 8.9MN AGAINST 8.5MN DISCREPANCY CARRIED FROM EARLIER EDITIONS IN FAVOUR OF 8.5MN AS DESIGN CAPACITY. |

Ozon logistics hub, a gas pipe, agricultural storage facilities and a grocery store, Taganrog |
Disputed: one account says drones and missiles, Russian outlets describe a massive missile attack, and Russia's own overnight tally counts fixed-wing drones only |
Rostov region |
Confirmed by Yuri Slyusar, governor of Rostov region: "Multiple ground impacts occurred, with several fires ignited," with no deaths or injuries. Also damaged: two apartment buildings, three private homes, an educational facility, and commercial and administrative buildings. Ozon itself, an interested party, says goods "were never accepted" at the hub and that it performs other operations. THE GAS PIPE'S OPERATOR IS NOT NAMED AND NO SUPPLY INTERRUPTION WAS REPORTED; it is a separate pipe from the one damaged at Slavyansk-on-Kuban on September 13. ADDED FROM THE LATER SWEEP: Ozon's press service says fire broke out in a neighbouring section, staff were evacuated, "the delivery hub is not operating" while emergency services work, and goods have been redirected to other Ozon facilities with regular deliveries continuing. THAT IS A NAMED OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCE AND IT SITS AWKWARDLY BESIDE THE SAME COMPANY'S STATEMENT THAT GOODS WERE NEVER ACCEPTED THERE; BOTH ARE THE OPERATOR'S OWN WORDS AND BOTH ARE PRINTED. This is the second Ozon facility struck in four days, after the Saratov fulfilment centre on September 11. Taganrog mayor Svetlana Kambulova also confirmed damage AMENDED AT PASS TWO, SEPTEMBER 15: Taganrog head of administration Svetlana Kambulova gave her own damage list the same morning and IT DOES NOT MATCH THE GOVERNOR'S: five apartment blocks and three private houses with damaged windows, against Slyusar's two apartment blocks and three private houses, plus three seats of fire. Both say nobody was killed or hurt and neither figure has been withdrawn. Russia's Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case over the attack, per its official representative Svetlana Petrenko, who called it an act of terrorism; the opening of the case is an official act, its attribution is a claim. |

AO Sebryakovcement, Mikhailovka, which its own press service says accounts for about 6% of Russian cement production |
Drones, per monitoring channels |
Volgograd region |
REPORTED BY MONITORING CHANNELS ONLY. Exilenova+ and Dnipro Osint report explosions and a subsequent fire, placing the blast near cement kiln 5 at coordinates 50.094131 and 43.237939, with significant smoke and firefighters dispatched. NO RUSSIAN OFFICIAL AND NO COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE HAS COMMENTED: V1.ru noted that as of 09:15 Moscow time governor Andrei Bocharov had said nothing about the night's consequences, and was instead inspecting buses on the Volgograd embankment and discussing improved gasoline availability. Claims of casualties circulating on Russian social media are flagged as unconfirmed by the outlet carrying them and are not used |

Airspace over 13 named regions plus Tatarstan, Crimea and the Black Sea, with restrictions at six airports: Bugulma, Kazan, Nizhnekamsk Begishevo, Samara Kurumoch, Cheboksary and Ulyanovsk Baratayevka |
Denial of use during a raid Russia's defence ministry put at 222 drones |
Russia |
Rosaviatsia announced through its Max messenger account that restrictions were lifted at 06:43 Moscow time on September 15: "Restrictions on receipt and dispatch of aircraft have been removed. Restrictions were introduced to ensure flight safety." A Kover airspace regime was introduced in Samara region. THE TIME THE RESTRICTIONS WERE IMPOSED WAS NOT PUBLISHED AND NO ROSAVIATSIA OFFICIAL IS NAMED. ADDED FROM THE LATER SWEEP: the restrictions were imposed at 23:37 Moscow time on September 14 at Samara Kurumoch and Ulyanovsk Baratayevka, and at 02:00 on September 15 at Bugulma, Kazan, Nizhnekamsk Begishevo and Cheboksary, so the Volga cluster was shut for between about four and seven hours. Note that Cheboksary is in Chuvashia, which does not appear in the defence ministry's own list of locations |

Beriev Taganrog Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex, which repairs and modernises military aircraft |
Missile strike, per monitoring channels |
Rostov region |
REPORTED BY MONITORING CHANNELS AND ONE ACTIVIST ONLY: Exilenova+ and Serhiy Sternenko. The scale of damage is being established and is UNKNOWN. NO RUSSIAN OFFICIAL NAMED THIS FACILITY. Included because it sits inside the same Taganrog strike as the Ozon hub above, though it is a military-industrial rather than an economic target AMENDED AT PASS TWO, SEPTEMBER 15: THE TARGET IDENTITY IS NOW CONTESTED BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT ENTERPRISES. Ukraine's General Staff, at 12:38 Kyiv time, names the target as ATLANT-AERO, which it describes as making Molniya strike-reconnaissance drones and components for the Orion, and reports "explosions and fire" there, per ArmyInform. UNIAN and Exilenova+ name the BERIEV complex. These are not two names for one plant. NO RUSSIAN OFFICIAL OR COMPANY NAMES EITHER and Slyusar's damage list mentions neither. Kept as ONE ROW because it is one strike on one city with two rival identifications; it is NOT entered twice. Militarnyi has separately assessed from Exilenova+ imagery that Atlant-Aero's main workshop was already destroyed by April 2026, which sits awkwardly with the fresh claim and is recorded but not relied on. AMENDED AT PASS ONE, SEPTEMBER 17: THE CONTESTED NAMING IS NOW SOURCED ON BOTH SIDES AND STILL NOT RESOLVED. Ukraine's General Staff on September 15 named Atlant Aero, saying it "produces UAVs and components for them". Ukrainian monitoring channels separately reported a strike on the Beriev aviation complex in Taganrog, which repairs and modernises military aircraft, and a fire at an Ozon warehouse in Taganrog. THE GENERAL STAFF NAMES ONLY ATLANT AERO. THE BERIEV AND OZON TAGANROG REPORTS REST ON MONITORING CHANNELS ALONE AND ARE NOT UPGRADED. Explosions at the Sebryakovcement plant in the Volgograd region on the same night are reported by OSINT channels only, with the plant described as "in smoke", AND ARE RECORDED HERE AS SEEN AND NOT CORROBORATED. |

Occupied Crimea |
Confirmed by Mikhail Razvozhayev, the occupation governor of Sevastopol, in posts timed 13:53, 14:12 and 15:22: the attack was repelled, 18 drones were neutralised and there were no casualties. A fire on the kindergarten roof was put out by Black Sea Fleet fire units and a bus at the Gollandiya terminal lost its roof and two windows to debris. Air defence operated around Kazachya Bay, Cape Streletsky and Victory Park. NO ECONOMIC OR ENERGY ASSET WAS NAMED AS HIT, AND THIS WAS A DAYTIME ATTACK RATHER THAN PART OF THE OVERNIGHT WAVE |

13-14 Sep |
Site for the storage, preparation and launch of attack drones, Millerovo |
Drones |
Rostov region |
CLAIMED BY UKRAINE'S GENERAL STAFF ONLY, in its statement of September 14, which placed the strike in the same wave as fires at two refineries. NO DAMAGE DESCRIPTION, NO WEAPON NAMED, NO NUMBER OF DRONES DESTROYED AND NO RUSSIAN OFFICIAL OR COMPANY CONFIRMATION OF ANY KIND. A launch site rather than an economic asset, recorded because this ledger already carries the drone production and launch chain |

Cumulative: six of Russia's largest diesel refineries, being Kirishi, NORSI, Taneco, Omsk, Perm and Volgograd |
Cumulative |
Nationwide |
RUNNING ASSESSMENT, NOT A STRIKE, AND NOT INDEPENDENTLY CONFIRMED. Reuters, citing unnamed sources and market data, reports that the six plants, which it says account for half of Russia's diesel production, have halted or cut output after Ukrainian drone strikes. KIRISHI IS SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY; NORSI AND VOLGOGRAD ARE RUNNING AT ABOUT A FOURTH OF CAPACITY. NO STATUS IS GIVEN FOR TANECO, OMSK OR PERM, which are named only as targeted. NO OPERATOR, NO NAMEPLATE CAPACITY, NO ABSOLUTE OUTPUT FIGURE IN TONNES OR BARRELS AND NO STRIKE DATES ARE GIVEN. NO RUSSIAN COMPANY HAS CONFIRMED ANY OF IT. Leningrad region governor Alexander Drozdenko has kept fuel limits at filling stations in place until October 1 and says the situation remains difficult. This row is complementary to, and not a replacement for, the individual strike rows already carried for Kirishi, Omsk and Perm AMENDED AT PASS TWO, SEPTEMBER 16: THE RATIONING IS NOW QUANTIFIED. Leningrad region governor Alexander Drozdenko announced on September 15 a single limit of 30 litres per transaction at EVERY filling station in the region, running until October 1. He said QR codes and coupons for the public had been rejected as an unnecessary inconvenience and that the odd-even numberplate system was being held in reserve, and described AI-92 supply as stabilising and AI-95 as still tight. Meduza reports that ONE PRIVATE FILLING STATION IN FIVE in the region has stopped work. THIS IS THE SECOND SOURCE THIS ASSESSMENT LACKED AT PASS ONE, BUT IT CORROBORATES THE CONSEQUENCE AND NOT THE THROUGHPUT FIGURES: no Russian company has confirmed any refinery status, and a rationing order is not a run-rate. AMENDED AT PASS ONE, SEPTEMBER 17: THE COUNT IS NOW THREE OF SIX. Kirishi in the Leningrad region is reported completely shut, and NORSI in Nizhny Novgorod and Volgograd each running at about 25% of capacity. Saratov is separately reported to have stopped processing on September 11 or 12, THE TWO DATES ARE UNRECONCILED, and Syzran on September 16. ALL OF THIS RESTS ON UNNAMED INDUSTRY SOURCES CARRIED BY A WIRE AGENCY AND NO RUSSIAN COMPANY HAS CONFIRMED ANY REFINERY STATUS. THE SARATOV DATE IS NOW RESOLVED AS A SEQUENCE RATHER THAN A CONTRADICTION: Ukrainska Pravda, carrying the same wire reporting, says Saratov shut down on September 8 after equipment was damaged and fires broke out, was preparing to resume processing on September 10 or 11 and was attacked again before it could. Saratov design capacity is 7mn tonnes a year, giving the two plants about 15.5mn tonnes between them. By the end of August Russia faced a petrol shortfall of about one third, with domestic production covering about 70% of summer consumption levels and about 85% including imports. AMENDED AT PASS TWO, SEPTEMBER 17: THE DIESEL EXPORT BAN HAS BEEN EXTENDED. Vedomosti reported on September 15 that the ban, due to expire on September 30, will now run to October 31, and that it was widened in July from traders and small refineries to all fuel producers. THAT IS A NEWSPAPER REPORT AND NOT AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: NO DECREE HAS BEEN PUBLISHED AND DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER ALEXANDER NOVAK'S OFFICE DID NOT COMMENT. IT IS ALSO NOT RECONCILED WITH THE LATE-JULY REPORTING THAT GASOLINE AND DIESEL EXPORT BANS HAD BEEN EXTENDED THROUGH JANUARY 2027, NOR WITH AN INTERFAX HEADLINE OF THE SAME PERIOD SAYING NOVAK EXPECTED THE DIESEL BAN TO BE LIFTED AS THE MARKET RECOVERED; ALL THREE ARE CARRIED AND NONE IS PREFERRED. Russian diesel exports are reported to have fallen below 1mn tonnes in June against about 2.5mn tonnes a month a year earlier. State Duma energy committee deputy chair Yury Stankevich said on September 17 that "the situation on the fuel market remains difficult due to high intensity" of attacks, while arguing that refinery protection measures are producing results; HE IS A LEGISLATOR OF THE STATE THAT OWNS THE PROBLEM AND AN INTERESTED PARTY |

Airspace over Sochi and Gelendzhik airports, and no economic facility reported hit anywhere in Russia |
Denial of use during a raid Russia's defence ministry put at 71 drones |
Krasnodar Krai and nationwide |
NO UKRAINIAN STRIKE ON ANY RUSSIAN ECONOMIC FACILITY WAS REPORTED BY ANY SOURCE FOR THIS NIGHT, WHICH IS ITSELF THE FINDING. Russia's defence ministry claimed 71 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones intercepted and destroyed over the Bryansk, Kaluga, Oryol, Rostov and Astrakhan regions, Krasnodar Krai, Crimea and the waters of the Black Sea, and GAVE NO FIGURE FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL REGION, a departure from its usual practice of itemising each one, so the 71 cannot be decomposed from the ministry's own statement and is a claim rather than a count. THE SEA OF AZOV IS NOT IN THE MINISTRY'S LIST FOR THIS NIGHT. Rosaviatsia restricted arrivals and departures at Sochi and Gelendzhik and the Sochi restrictions ran about six hours, being lifted in the early morning of September 16. DELAY COUNTS ARE UNRECONCILED: 39 delayed arrivals in both accounts, against 31 delayed departures (Sochi1.ru) and 38 delayed departures (Argumenty i Fakty), with passengers reported waiting more than 12 hours. THE TIMES THE RESTRICTIONS WERE IMPOSED ARE ALSO UNRECONCILED ACROSS TWO SWEEPS: Sochi at 21:34 or 21:40 MSK on September 15, and Gelendzhik at 15:22 or 22:00 MSK. Kaluga governor Vladislav Shapsha put four drones down over his region and said there were no casualties and no damage to infrastructure; Rostov governor Yuri Slyusar reported drones destroyed over the Millerovsky and Kamensky districts with no casualties and no destruction on the ground. THE GOVERNORS OF ORYOL AND ASTRAKHAN AND OF KRASNODAR KRAI, ALL NAMED IN THE MINISTRY'S OWN LIST, SAID NOTHING, AND NO COMPANY, PORT, REFINERY OR TERMINAL OPERATOR STATEMENT EXISTS FOR THIS NIGHT |

16-17 Sep |
Power lines and distribution across six districts of the Kursk region, including the Oboyansky, Belovsky, Bolshesoldatsky, Oktyabrsky, Zheleznogorsky and Dmitrievsky districts |
Drones and artillery |
Kursk region, and Voronezh region |
Kursk region governor Alexander Khinshtein said about 1,700 customers in the Belovsky district remained without power. Damage to a power line in the Oboyansky district cut supply to 53 settlements across the Oboyansky, Belovsky, Bolshesoldatsky and Oktyabrsky districts, affecting over 13,700 customers. Outages in the Zheleznogorsky and Dmitrievsky districts affected 143 settlements and over 28,600 customers and were restored through backup systems. The regional authorities said 258 drones were destroyed over the region in 24 hours, that Ukrainian artillery was used 67 times in border areas and that the region was attacked with explosive devices 20 times; THOSE ARE RUSSIAN CLAIMS AND NOT COUNTS. A 52-year-old woman was injured at Korenevo and her house and garage burned down. Over the Voronezh region 23 drones were reported destroyed on the night of September 17, with six private homes and two cars damaged by falling fragments. THIS IS THE FIRST REPORTED UKRAINIAN DAMAGE TO RUSSIAN POWER DISTRIBUTION IN THIS LEDGER AND IT COMES FROM KOMMERSANT, A RUSSIAN OUTLET RELAYING A RUSSIAN GOVERNOR, VIA BEN'S ARCHIVE, WHOSE ROWS ARE RESEARCH ONLY. RE-SOURCE TO KHINSHTEIN'S OWN STATEMENT BEFORE PUBLICATION. NO GENERATING ASSET IS NAMED AND NO MEGAWATT FIGURE IS GIVEN |

16-17 Sep |
Oil refinery, Yaroslavl, not named by any Russian official; identified by Ukrainian outlets and OSINT as Slavneft-YANOS |
Drones, type not stated |
Yaroslavl region |
Yaroslavl region governor Mikhail Yevrayev said: "A major attack by enemy drones was repelled today. 65 drones have been downed. No deaths or injuries have been reported. An oil refinery was damaged. Fire is being put out." He added that falling fragments damaged windows in several apartment blocks and destroyed vehicles. THE 65 IS A CLAIM AND NOT A COUNT AND HE GAVE NO FIGURE FOR ANY OTHER REGION. NO DAMAGE ASSESSMENT BEYOND "DAMAGED" EXISTS, NO SHUTDOWN HAS BEEN REPORTED AND NO COMPANY HAS COMMENTED. Ukraine's General Staff had not confirmed the strike at the time of writing and no Russian official named the plant. Ukrainian outlets and the OSINT channel ASTRA, which geolocated eyewitness video, identify it as Slavneft-YANOS, the only refinery in the city, jointly controlled by Rosneft and Gazprom, and put annual crude processing capacity at about 15mn tonnes; THAT IDENTIFICATION AND THOSE FIGURES ARE UKRAINIAN AND OSINT AND NOT RUSSIAN OFFICIAL. UNN counts this as at least the eighth fire at the plant in 2026. A fire was also reported in an aircraft parking area at the Rostov-on-Don military airfield the same night, UNCONFIRMED BY ANY NAMED RUSSIAN OFFICIAL AMENDED AT PASS TWO, SEPTEMBER 17: UKRAINE'S GENERAL STAFF HAS NOW CONFIRMED THE STRIKE AND NAMED THE UNIT. It says the Slavneft-YANOS refinery was hit with damage and fire on the AVT-3 primary crude processing installation and that the plant supplies fuel to Russian forces, crediting drone operators of the 1st Separate Centre of Unmanned Systems and the 414th Birds of Madyar Brigade; President Volodymyr Zelenskiy described a joint operation by the security service, the special operations forces, military intelligence and the foreign intelligence service. THAT IS CLAIMED BY UKRAINE ONLY: THE UNIT, THE PLANT NAME AND THE FUEL-SUPPLY CHARACTERISATION ARE CONFIRMED BY NO RUSSIAN OFFICIAL AND BY NO COMPANY, AND NO RUSSIAN OFFICIAL HAS NAMED THE REFINERY AT ANY POINT IN THIS EPISODE. Governor Yevrayev said later that the fires were completely extinguished and lifted the drone alert at 09:03 MSK after about seven hours, still describing only "an oil refinery" and reporting no halt. NO SHUTDOWN, RUN RATE OR PRODUCTION LOSS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY ANY PARTY. The M-8 highway from the Moscow direction closed at 01:59 MSK and reopened at about 06:08 MSK. ON THE ROSTOV-ON-DON AIRFIELD UKRAINE'S GENERAL STAFF HAS NOW PUT A CLAIM ON THE RECORD WHERE PASS ONE HAD ONLY AN UNCONFIRMED REPORT: two An-26 transport aircraft destroyed or damaged, one An-12 hit and three helicopters damaged, with fire and secondary detonation. STILL CONFIRMED BY NO NAMED RUSSIAN OFFICIAL. GOVERNOR SLYUSAR DID NOT MENTION THE AIRFIELD AT ALL AND THAT SILENCE IS NOT A DENIAL UPDATED SEPTEMBER 18: the plant halted oil processing entirely after the strike, according to Reuters, which cannot be linked. NO RUSSIAN OFFICIAL, AND NO STATEMENT FROM SLAVNEFT, ROSNEFT OR GAZPROM NEFT, HAS CONFIRMED A HALT, A RUN RATE OR ANY PRODUCTION LOSS. FURTHER DETAIL, SEPTEMBER 18: the damaged unit is the AVT-3 primary crude installation, rated at 17,140 tonnes a day, about 40% of the plant's total refining capacity. The AVT-4 unit, about a third of capacity, was already under repair after the August 28 drone attack, so about three-quarters of the plant's capacity is now affected. Market participants said no YANOS-produced fuel was offered on the domestic commodity exchange on September 17. The plant produces 2.6mn tonnes of petrol and 4mn tonnes of diesel a year and is one of the largest suppliers to Moscow. EVERY ONE OF THESE FIGURES RESTS ON ANONYMOUS INDUSTRY SOURCES REPORTED BY REUTERS, WHICH CANNOT BE LINKED. NO NAMED PERSON OR BODY STANDS BEHIND ANY OF THEM AND THERE IS STILL NO SLAVNEFT, GAZPROM NEFT OR ROSNEFT STATEMENT. |

16-17 Sep |
Nationwide raid: no economic facility reported hit beyond those separately rowed; airspace restricted at 13 airports and the M-8 Moscow to Yaroslavl highway closed for about four hours |
Drones, in a raid Russia's defence ministry put at 641 |
Nationwide |
Russia's defence ministry said that during the past night air defences "intercepted and destroyed 641 Ukrainian fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles" over the Astrakhan, Belgorod, Bryansk, Vladimir, Voronezh, Kaluga, Kostroma, Kursk, Lipetsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Oryol, Rostov, Ryazan, Smolensk, Tambov, Tver, Tula and Yaroslavl regions, Krasnodar Krai, the Moscow region and Crimea, and over the waters of the Sea of Azov, the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. THAT IS A CLAIM AND NOT A COUNT. FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE NIGHT THE MINISTRY GAVE NO FIGURE FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL REGION, A DEPARTURE FROM ITS USUAL PRACTICE OF ITEMISING EACH ONE, SO THE 641 CANNOT BE DECOMPOSED FROM THE MINISTRY'S OWN STATEMENT. The regional figures that exist come from four governors and a mayor and account for 171 of the total: 65 over Yaroslavl, more than 50 over Rostov, 43 over Nizhny Novgorod, seven over Sevastopol and six over Moscow and the Moscow region. THE REMAINING 470 ARE UNALLOCATED AND MUST NOT BE DISTRIBUTED. The ministry gave no clock times and no window beyond "the past night". THE RUSSIAN-LANGUAGE EDITION OF THE MOSCOW TIMES RENDERS THE TOTAL AS 64 WHERE TASS, INTERFAX, KOMMERSANT, FONTANKA AND THE ENGLISH EDITION GIVE 641; THE TWO ARE NOT RECONCILED AND THE LOWER FIGURE READS AS A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR. At 11:33 MSK the ministry claimed a rolling 24-hour total of eight guided aerial bombs and 956 fixed-wing drones, again with no regional detail; THAT IS A DIFFERENT WINDOW AND HAS NOT BEEN ADDED TO THE OVERNIGHT FIGURE. Rosaviatsia restricted arrivals and departures at Tambov, Kaluga, Penza, Saratov, Pskov, Volgograd, Sochi, Yaroslavl, Gelendzhik, Ivanovo, Kazan, Cheboksary and Makhachkala, with Vnukovo and Domodedovo operating by coordination, giving flight safety as the reason throughout; NO AGGREGATE DELAY OR CANCELLATION COUNT WAS PUBLISHED |

16-17 Sep |
A transformer substation, Rostov-on-Don |
Falling drone debris |
Rostov region |
Rostov region governor Yuri Slyusar said a transformer substation was damaged by falling drone debris, cutting electricity supply in the Voroshilovsky, Leninsky, Oktyabrsky and Kirovsky districts of Rostov-on-Don, and that six private houses were damaged and a fire was promptly extinguished, with no dead and no injured; the press service said power would be restored by the end of the day. He put more than 50 drones down across the region, over Rostov-on-Don, Bataysk, Kamensk-Shakhtinsky and Taganrog and across ten districts; THAT IS A CLAIM AND NOT A COUNT. THIS IS DAMAGE FROM FALLING DEBRIS AND NOT A CLAIMED DELIBERATE HIT: NO UKRAINIAN SOURCE CLAIMS THE SUBSTATION AND UKRAINE'S GENERAL STAFF NAMES ONLY THE MILITARY AIRFIELD IN THIS CITY. IT IS THE SECOND REPORTED DAMAGE TO RUSSIAN POWER DISTRIBUTION IN THIS LEDGER IN TWO DAYS, AFTER THE KURSK REGION LINES, AND THE FIRST IN A CITY OF MORE THAN A MILLION PEOPLE. NO OPERATOR IS NAMED, NO CUSTOMER COUNT IS GIVEN AND NO MEGAWATT FIGURE EXISTS. Per TASS and Interfax, carrying the governor's own statement |
|
17 Sep |
An industrial enterprise, Novorossiysk, not named by any source |
Falling drone debris |
Krasnodar Krai |
The Krasnodar Krai operational headquarters said debris from a drone strike caused a fire at one of the city's enterprises, that the fire was quickly extinguished and that nobody was hurt, in a statement carried at about 08:42 MSK. THE ENTERPRISE IS NOT NAMED BY ANY SOURCE. NOTHING IN ANY ACCOUNT TIES IT TO THE PORT OF NOVOROSSIYSK, THE SHESKHARIS OIL TERMINAL, ANY GRAIN TERMINAL OR ANY SHIP, AND IT MUST NOT BE WRITTEN AS A PORT, TERMINAL OR OIL STRIKE. NO GOVERNOR OR MAYORAL STATEMENT EXISTS AND NO UKRAINIAN SOURCE CLAIMS IT. Per Interfax and Lenta |
|
16-17 Sep |
No facility named; explosions reported from the direction of the Kstovo district, where Lukoil's NORSI refinery stands |
Drones |
Nizhny Novgorod region |
Governor Gleb Nikitin said at 08:50 MSK that 43 drones attacked the region during the night and the morning hours and that falling debris caused what he called non-critical damage to civil infrastructure, with windows broken in several residential buildings, no casualties and damage assessment continuing; mayor Yuri Shalabayev added the roofs of two structures and parked vehicles. THE 43 IS A CLAIM AND NOT A COUNT. RESIDENTS REPORTED EXPLOSIONS FROM THE KSTOVO AREA AND THAT IS WHERE NORSI STANDS, BUT NO RUSSIAN OFFICIAL, NO COMPANY AND NO UKRAINIAN SOURCE NAMES THE REFINERY AND NO HIT ON IT IS ESTABLISHED. THIS ROW IS RECORDED AS A NEGATIVE: NORSI IS ONE OF THE SIX LARGEST DIESEL REFINERIES THIS LEDGER TRACKS AND IS ALREADY ASSESSED AT ABOUT 25% OF CAPACITY, SO A STRIKE ON IT WOULD BE MATERIAL AND MUST NOT BE INFERRED FROM THE GEOGRAPHY. Nizhny Novgorod airport operated normally. Per Interfax and Nizhegorodskaya Pravda |

17-18 Sep |
Nationwide raid on Russia: the defence ministry named 15 regions and three bodies of water and not one facility |
Drones, type not named by any source on either side |
Astrakhan, Belgorod, Bryansk, Vladimir, Kaluga, Kursk, Oryol, Rostov, Ryazan, Smolensk, Tula and Moscow regions, Krasnodar Krai, Adygea and Crimea |
Russia's defence ministry claimed 629 drones destroyed between 20:00 on September 17 and 08:00 on September 18, in a bulletin published at about 08:33 Moscow time. FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE NIGHT IT PUBLISHED NO PER-REGION COUNTS, a departure from its practice for most of the war. Five governors giving overnight figures account for at least 193 of the 629: Moscow 64, Rostov more than 50, Tula 45, Kaluga 28 and Ryazan six. The remaining 436 are unallocated. Moscow's mayor Sergei Sobyanin separately said more than 350 drones were tracked towards the Moscow region between 20:00 and 07:00, most brought down at a distance. TREAT THE 629 AS A CLAIM AND NOT A COUNT |
|
17-18 Sep |
An energy facility, not named, Belovsky district, Kursk region, and the roof of a disused filling station at Belaya |
Not specified by the governor |
Kursk region |
Kursk region governor Alexander Khinshteyn said an energy facility in the Belovsky district was damaged "as a result of the attack", leaving eight settlements without power, and that the roof of a disused filling station at Belaya was damaged. HE DID NOT NAME THE FACILITY, DID NOT NAME ITS OPERATOR AND DID NOT SAY WHETHER IT WAS STRUCK DIRECTLY OR HIT BY FALLING DEBRIS. This is the only economic infrastructure any Russian official acknowledged as damaged anywhere in the country on this night. Two men were injured, aged 68 and 38. Khinshteyn also gave 196 drones downed over the region, but for 09:00 September 17 to 09:00 September 18, a different window that cannot be added to the overnight figures above |
|
17-18 Sep |
Rostov-on-Don military airfield, reported struck for the second time in two days |
Drones |
Rostov region |
CLAIMED BY UKRAINIAN MONITORING CHANNELS AND REPORTED BY MILITARNYI AND THE MOSCOW TIMES. NO RUSSIAN OFFICIAL HAS ADDRESSED IT: governor Yuri Slyusar's statement for the night covered only civilian damage. For the previous night Ukraine's General Staff claimed two An-26 and one An-12 transport aircraft and three helicopters hit at the same airfield, also unaddressed by any Russian official. The Institute for the Study of War's September 17 assessment reported Ukrainian operations against Russian air defence in the Rostov region |
|
17-18 Sep |
Gas supply to four households and power lines at two locations, Azov, Rostov region |
Falling drone debris |
Rostov region |
Rostov region governor Yuri Slyusar said more than 50 drones were brought down over Rostov-on-Don, Taganrog, Bataysk and five districts. At Azov five homes and four vehicles were damaged, gas supply to four households was cut and power lines were brought down at two locations. Windows were broken at Bataysk, and in the Neklinovsky district eight apartment blocks and four cars were damaged. Nobody was hurt. SMALL, BUT IT IS UTILITY DAMAGE AND THE LEDGER RECORDS IT AS SUCH |
|
17-18 Sep |
Airspace over Nizhny Novgorod, Krasnodar, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Cherepovets airports |
Denial of use during a drone raid, no facility reported hit |
Five regions |
Rosaviatsia imposed restrictions at the five airports during the night. Restrictions were lifted at Vnukovo and Domodedovo by 07:13 on September 18 and at Sochi, Gelendzhik, Ulyanovsk, Volgograd and Makhachkala during the morning. NO ROSAVIATSIA NOTICE NAMES DRONES AS THE CAUSE; each cites flight safety. THE TIMES THE RESTRICTIONS WERE IMPOSED ARE NOT STATED IN ANY SOURCE FOUND, only the times they were lifted |

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. |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 AMENDED SEPTEMBER 16: THE FEDERAL PROSECUTOR HAS TAKEN THE CASE OVER from the Cottbus prosecutor on grounds of significance and is investigating constitutionally hostile sabotage. A notebook found in the suspect's motorhome carried handwritten notes on MORE THAN 160 past and possible future targets, per t-online. THE ATTRIBUTION HAS NOT CHANGED AND HAS NOT BEEN UPGRADED: the detained man is a 48-year-old German national, interior minister Alexander Dobrindt calls the series very probably climate terrorism by a lone actor, and NO GERMAN OFFICIAL HAS ATTRIBUTED IT TO RUSSIA |

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.

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 September 25. No physical damage. AN ALLEGATION BEFORE A COURT AND NOT A PROVEN STATE ATTRIBUTION; THE SUSPECT'S NATIONALITY IS NOT AN ATTRIBUTION |

EMCO ammunition storage site near Gorni Varpishta, Dryanovo municipality, Gabrovo region |
Fire and explosions, cause not established |
Bulgaria |
Fire began about 23:00 on September 11 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 August 10, over which the company itself ruled out sabotage. EMCO supplies equipment to Ukraine.

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 September 11 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 September 13 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 SEPTEMBER 12 DATING AND FRAMING |

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 |

Vilnius airport, and airspace over Vilnius city and district and the Trakai and Elektrenai districts, with the radar contact near Varena |
A radar contact initially assessed as a drone crossing from Belarus on a track towards Kaliningrad |
Lithuania |
NOBODY BLAMED, AND NO DRONE WAS CONFIRMED TO HAVE EXISTED. Flights were halted from about 13:00 local and one Nato fighter was scrambled from Siauliai air base. Vilmantas Vitkauskas, director of Lithuania's National Crisis Management Centre, then said the objects detected by radar were a flock of birds, confirmed by visual identification from the fighter, adding that on initial radar readings marks left by birds and drones can be similar. No damage. THE FIRST WIRE CYCLE RAN THIS AS A DRONE INCURSION WITH Nato JETS SCRAMBLED AND NO ORIGIN STATED; THE STATE'S OWN CRISIS CENTRE THEN SAID THERE WAS NO DRONE. THREE DIFFERENT DURATIONS WERE PUBLISHED: 38 MINUTES, ABOUT 40 MINUTES, AND ABOUT AN HOUR |

Lithuanian airspace: a drone entering from the direction of Belarus, passing over Vilnius and destroyed near Pratkunai village in the Kaisiadorys district, close to the Kruonis pumped-storage hydroelectric plant |
A single drone engaged and destroyed by Italian Air Force Eurofighter Typhoons of Nato's Baltic Air Policing mission, flying from Siauliai air base |
Lithuania |
NOBODY BLAMED. President Gitanas Nauseda: "A drone that just entered Lithuanian airspace was destroyed by Nato fighter jets. I thank Allied personnel for their swift response." HE DID NOT NAME RUSSIA. Vilmantas Vitkauskas, head of the National Crisis Management Centre, said forces were deployed "to determine what type of drone it was, its specifications and its intended target". LITHUANIA HAS STATED NO DRONE TYPE AND THE WRECKAGE WAS STILL BEING SEARCHED FOR. Air raid sirens sounded in parts of the country and airports faced temporary restrictions. No damage. A NON-RUSSIAN EXPLANATION IS LIVE AND MUST BE CARRIED: through 2026 a documented series of drones entering the Baltic states and Finland were identified as UKRAINIAN, drifting off course, which Baltic governments attributed to Russian electronic jamming and which Ukraine's foreign minister Andrii Sybiha also attributed to Russian electronic warfare. One was shot down over Latvia on August 14 by an Italian Eurofighter of the same type on the same mission. ADDED FROM THE LATER SWEEP: the drone entered at about midnight, flew for about 30 minutes and was brought down at 01:20; air-raid alerts sounded in the Vilnius, Trakai, Elektrenai and Kaunas districts and Vilnius airport was disrupted; this is the FIRST SUCH SHOOT-DOWN OVER LITHUANIAN TERRITORY. Deividas Matulionis, the government's chief security adviser, put the position plainly: "Currently, it is unclear whether the drone was Russian or Ukrainian." A preliminary LRT report that it may have carried explosives is unconfirmed and is not used. ONE RELAY ATTRIBUTES A QUOTE ABOUT THE KRUONIS PLANT TO A LITHUANIAN DEFENCE MINISTER NAMED ROBERTAS KAUNAS; THAT NAME COULD NOT BE VERIFIED AND IS NOT USED AMENDED SEPTEMBER 16: EXPLOSIVES WERE FOUND AT THE CRASH SITE. Lithuania's defence minister said on the evening of September 15 that the recovery operation had been completed and that explosives had been found and neutralised by bomb disposal experts, with specialists continuing to examine the aircraft, per Armenpress. AN EARLIER STATEMENT THE SAME DAY, CARRIED BY EUROPEAN PRAVDA, SAID THE DRONE APPEARED TO HAVE CARRIED NO EXPLOSIVES. THE TWO ARE NOT RECONCILED AND BOTH ARE CARRIED. The National Crisis Management Centre says the drone entered from Belarusian territory heading west; the alert was extended from Vilnius to the Kaunas region and Vilnius airport suspended operations. ATTRIBUTION HAS STILL NOT MOVED IN VILNIUS: no Lithuanian official has named Russia and the type is still unestablished. The only attribution is Italy's, from defence minister Guido Crosetto, who said the threat most probably came from Russia |

A Royal Danish Air Force Fennec helicopter conducting routine photography, over international waters off Gedser |
Two flares fired by a Russian frigate, one passing at close range to the aircraft |
Denmark |
ATTRIBUTION IS NOT IN DISPUTE because the vessel is an acknowledged Russian state warship, and this is a FORMAL STATE PROTEST rather than an attribution of covert sabotage. Foreign minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen called the incident "completely unacceptable". The foreign ministry said "Russia's ambassador has therefore been summoned for a discussion about the incident". The Danish armed forces said "one of the flares passed at close range to the helicopter". No damage and no injuries. NO RUSSIAN RESPONSE REPORTED |

A suspected Gerbera decoy airframe recovered from the Baltic Sea near Rusinowo, close to Jaroslawiec on the northwest coast |
Airframe recovered from the water by the Polish military; no incursion and no impact |
Poland |
AUTHORITIES INVESTIGATING, NO FORMAL BLAME. Defence minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said preliminary examination indicated "a military unmanned aerial vehicle of Russian origin", and the armed forces spokesman said it was "most probably" a Gerbera, the Russian-designed decoy built to resemble Shahed-type attack drones. Deputy defence minister Cezary Tomczyk told parliament Poland "should expect continued attempts at surveillance and other forms of pressure". CRUCIALLY, POLISH AIR DEFENCE RECORDED NO AIRSPACE VIOLATION SINCE JULY 30 and the assessment is that the drone DRIFTED IN FROM INTERNATIONAL WATERS. RUSSIAN MANUFACTURE OF THE AIRFRAME IS NOT A FINDING OF AN INCURSION AND MUST NOT BE WRITTEN AS ONE. This is a different drone from the one shot down over Lithuania and the two must not be merged. ADDED FROM THE LATER SWEEP: Jacek Goryszewski, spokesman for the Polish Armed Forces Operational Command, called it "most likely a Gerbera type belonging to the Russian Federation" and said the incident "cannot be linked to any attack by the Russian Federation", which is the clearest statement available that manufacture and incursion are separate questions. The recovery point is given as Rusinowo near Jaroslawiec in Zachodniopomorskie. THE DATE SINCE WHICH POLISH AIR DEFENCE HAS RECORDED NO AIRSPACE VIOLATION IS GIVEN AS JULY 30 BY ONE SWEEP AND JULY 31 BY ANOTHER; UNRESOLVED |

Espionage and sabotage-preparation prosecutions |
Criminal cases opened under Article 130 |
Poland |
NOT AN INCIDENT BUT A PROSECUTION COUNT. Przemyslaw Nowak, spokesman for Poland's National Prosecutor's Office, gives 67 espionage cases opened in 2025 and at least 40 more in the first eight months of 2026, involving preparation for sabotage, remote recruitment and the collection of data on military sites. Two Russian citizens were exposed, one of them said to have planned to send an explosive device by delivery service. THESE ARE CASES OPENED, NOT CONVICTIONS, AND THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE NAMES NO RUSSIAN STATE BODY AS PRINCIPAL IN ANY OF THEM |

Unidentified drone crash in open country near the Steinhuder Meer, about 1 km from the Bundeswehr air base at Wunstorf |
Drone crash, cause unestablished |
Germany |
Came down in an uninhabited area and police mounted a large search for further debris, per BILD. Authorities say there is no known threat to the public and THE DRONE'S ORIGIN AND OWNER REMAIN UNKNOWN. NOBODY HAS ATTRIBUTED IT TO ANYONE, NO GERMAN OFFICIAL HAS LINKED IT TO RUSSIA OR TO THE WAR AND NO EXPLOSIVE OR PAYLOAD IS REPORTED. Recorded for the proximity to a military airfield and for no other reason |

Airspace over southeastern Poland, with operations suspended at Lublin and Rzeszow airports |
Preventive scramble of military aircraft and readying of ground-based air defence during a Russian drone raid on Ukraine |
Poland |
NO AIRSPACE VIOLATION WAS REPORTED AND NOBODY HAS BEEN BLAMED FOR ONE. The Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces said on X that military aircraft took off and ground-based air defence and radar systems were brought to readiness in response to Russian drone attacks on Ukraine, describing the measures as preventive and intended to protect Polish airspace, particularly in the regions bordering Ukraine. Lublin and Rzeszow airports suspended operations for about 40 minutes and the Government Security Centre alerted residents of the Lublin and Podkarpackie voivodeships for about 30 minutes; the operation concluded shortly after 08:00 local time. Per Kyiv Independent. A PREVENTIVE MEASURE TAKEN DURING A RAID ON UKRAINE IS NOT AN INCURSION AND MUST NOT BE WRITTEN AS ONE |

Danish Air Force Fennec helicopter off Gedser |
Two flares fired from a Russian frigate, one passing close to the aircraft |
Denmark |
No damage. Danish defence minister Jeppe Bruus called the incident "serious and without precedent" and the seamanship "highly unprofessional". Russian ambassador Vladimir Barbin said Danish helicopters had repeatedly flown dangerous manoeuvres near Russian warships. AN ACKNOWLEDGED STATE ACT RATHER THAN SABOTAGE, AND THE CHARACTERISATION IS DISPUTED BY THE TWO GOVERNMENTS |

Airspace near Pratkunai, about 60 miles west of Vilnius |
Single drone in Lithuanian airspace for about 30 minutes, shot down by Italian Air Force jets on Nato Baltic Air Policing from Siauliai |
Lithuania |
No damage reported. President Gitanas Nauseda said: "According to the information now available, it was a Gerbera-type drone. The electronic component is still being analyzed," adding that it entered from Belarus and was "likely intended for an attack on Ukraine". Air force commander Antanas Matutis said the drone was "likely" carrying explosives and defence minister Robertas Kaunas said the payload was neutralised. Nato officials said the source needed further investigation. NO GOVERNMENT HAS FORMALLY ATTRIBUTED AN ATTACK AND LITHUANIA'S OWN PRESIDENT SUGGESTS THE DRONE WAS OFF COURSE RATHER THAN AIMED AT LITHUANIA |

Railway signalling at more than 30 locations nationwide, at least five of them in Gelderland |
Steel pipes up to 2 m long laid on rails to trip safety systems; concurrent hay-bale fires on the A2, A7 and A28 |
Netherlands |
Nationwide disruption north of Utrecht in the morning rush and a train collision at Steenwijk with no reported injuries. ProRail said: "We have been to these places and carried out investigations and found materials that were intentionally put there." The AIVD is working with police. NOBODY HAS ATTRIBUTED THIS TO RUSSIA OR TO ANY STATE. Dutch reporting points at the Farmers Defence Force over the concurrent hay-bale fires and a nitrogen policy dispute; Extinction Rebellion denied involvement; no arrests had been made for the rail sabotage at the time of writing. A DELIBERATE ACT IS ESTABLISHED, A PERPETRATOR IS NOT |

European Nato allies, named collectively in a US indictment unsealed in Manhattan |
Alleged murder-for-hire plots against Russian dissidents in the United States and Lithuania and sabotage including arson of infrastructure, with crypto funding and hotel bookings in Poland and Czechia |
United States indictment, alleged conduct in the EU |
Five defendants named: Yuri Khrameev, described as a former Russian intelligence colonel, Kirill Khrameev, a suspected FSB officer, the Cuban nationals Oemis Romagoza Durruthy and Yaidel Delgado Suarez, and the Venezuelan national Angel Eduardo Castro. Announced by Attorney General Todd Blanche. THESE ARE ALLEGATIONS IN A CHARGING DOCUMENT AND NOT FINDINGS. ALL FIVE REMAIN AT LARGE, NOTHING HAS BEEN PROVEN AND NO SPECIFIC EUROPEAN INCIDENT IN THIS TABLE HAS BEEN LINKED TO THEM BY ANY PROSECUTOR. RELATED AND POSSIBLY THE SAME NETWORK, NOT ESTABLISHED AS SUCH BY ANY PROSECUTOR: European authorities allege a Cuban national working as a dance teacher recruited Latin Americans from Russia for GRU-linked arson and sabotage in Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic and a fourth EU state. THE OVERLAP IS THE CUBAN RECRUITMENT STRAND AND THE NATIONALITIES, WHICH IS A RESEMBLANCE AND NOT A LINK, AND IT MUST NOT BE WRITTEN AS ONE |
Arson, sabotage, drone incursions and unexplained fires at defence, aviation and energy sites in the EU and the UK, August 4 to September 18 2026. Non-exhaustive. Attribution is given as the authorities state it and no further.
The pattern
For two nights Russia has claimed to shoot down more than 600 drones and declined to say where, while the damage it acknowledges has been a substation, an unnamed energy facility and a list of broken windows. Either Ukraine is sending very large numbers of drones that achieve almost nothing, or Russia is not describing what they achieve. The withheld per-region counts are what make the question unanswerable, and it was answerable a week ago.
Ukraine's position is the mirror image and easier to read, because it publishes launch points, weapon types, interception counts and the number of locations hit, on a night when the number was small. The asymmetry in the two countries' reporting is now wider than the asymmetry in their raids.
What actually moved this week was logistics. A bridge has put 3,000 wagons of grain 26 days from the water, a refinery that supplies Moscow has stopped, a passenger is dead on a train in the Kharkiv region, and a third country has gone to both capitals because 226 ships have been hit. A prime minister says that is the plan. On the evidence of this week he is describing something already happening rather than predicting it.
