Missile War Monitor: Ukrainian drones halt Russia's Novoshakhtinsk refinery as Russia sends 295 drones at Ukraine

Ukrainian drones forced an oil products plant in Novoshakhtinsk, in Russia's Rostov region, to suspend work overnight, Governor Yuri Slyusar said, as industrial sites in Perm and Ulyanovsk were hit.
"No one was hurt. The enterprise has temporarily suspended operations," Slyusar said of the September 25 attack, Rambler reported, citing Rossiyskaya Gazeta. It was the plant's first reported strike since August 25, after which the governor said processing had been suspended.
In Perm, Governor Dmitry Makhonin reported "a strike on an industrial facility" and later said a man had been killed by shrapnel, AiF Perm reported. He did not name the facility. Ukrainian outlets citing monitoring channels named Lukoil's Perm refinery, which was reported halted in August, as IntelliNews reported. In Ulyanovsk, Governor Alexei Russkikh said eight people, one of them a child, were injured.
Russia launched 295 strike drones at Ukraine overnight, 52 of them jet-powered, the air force said. It claimed 267 downed or suppressed by 07:30, with hits at 16 locations and debris at four, and said the attack was still going on, Interfax-Ukraine reported.
With Novoshakhtinsk back in the halted column, plants reported halted or cut in September now account for about 108.5mn tonnes a year of capacity, or 33% of Russia's 327mn tonnes nameplate total, by IntelliNews' refinery ledger, and up to 159.2mn tonnes, or 49%, if earlier halts still hold. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in early September that about 10% of Russian refining capacity was under repair.
Russia's defence ministry said its air defences destroyed 592 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones between 20:00 and 08:00 Moscow time over 18 regions, Crimea and the Black Sea, Interfax reported. That is the ministry's claim and has not been independently verified.
Refineries and factories
Slyusar's statement did not give the extent of the damage. About 50 drones were downed over Novoshakhtinsk, Kamensk-Shakhtinsky and six districts of the Rostov region, according to the same report. The Novoshakhtinsk plant was the first Russian refinery hit in the war, in June 2022.
In Perm, a drone alert was declared before 05:00 local time and the city's Bolshoye Savino airport closed to all flights at 08:03, AiF Perm said. RBC-Ukraine, citing Telegram channels and open-source analysts, said the Perm refinery, known as PNOS, came under attack. Other Ukrainian media reported a hit on its AVT-5 crude distillation unit. Neither Lukoil nor any Russian official has confirmed the refinery was hit.
Makhonin said 39 drones were brought down over the region and that emergency services were working at the industrial site; the regional environmental watchdog reported no excess pollution, AiF Perm said.
Russkikh said the Ulyanovsk attack damaged civilian and industrial infrastructure, and that five of the injured adults and the child were in moderate condition, Om1 reported. He named no plant. NV, citing the monitoring channel Exilenova+, reported a hit on the Iskra plant, which makes electronic components and belongs to the Almaz-Antey defence group.
In Voronezh, Governor Alexander Gusev said 88 drones were destroyed over the city and six districts. Four people were injured, two women with shrapnel wounds among them, and residential facades, cars and non-residential buildings were damaged, with falling debris causing fires, VZGLYAD reported. Ukrainian outlets claimed a storage tank fire at Sibur's Voronezhsintezkauchuk synthetic rubber plant. The governor did not name it.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said 10 drones flying at the capital were destroyed on approach, News.ru reported. Lenta.ru put the figure at 17. Saratov's airport suspended flights as air defences engaged over Saratov and Engels. In occupied Luhansk the Stroytsentr hypermarket caught fire; Ukrainian Telegram channels claimed it was used as a Russian logistics hub.
In the Samara region, the locomotive and first carriage of the No. 66 Moscow-Tolyatti passenger train were damaged at about 06:03 on September 25 between Racheyka and Balasheyka on the Kuibyshev railway, and the driver was injured, Russian Railways said, citing "external interference", AiF Tolyatti reported. The train did not derail and passengers were unhurt. Traffic on the section was suspended.
For the daytime of September 24, Russia's defence ministry claimed 35 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones intercepted between 08:00 and 20:00 Moscow time over eight regions, including Bashkortostan and Crimea, EADaily reported. That is the ministry's figure and has not been independently verified.
Ukraine under fire
In Kyiv a drone struck a 25-storey residential building at fourth-floor level in the Solomianskyi district, and non-residential buildings were hit in Solomianskyi and Podilskyi, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. One person was injured, according to preliminary information, Glavred reported.
The deadliest strike of September 24 fell on a farm at Stara Hnylytsia in the Kharkiv region, where workers were sorting and packing produce. Six people were killed, two men and four women, and 12 farm workers were injured, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said, LB.ua reported. Accounts of the weapon differ.
Across Ukraine, Russian attacks over the previous day killed at least 16 people and injured 59, including eight dead in the Donetsk region, the Kyiv Independent reported, citing regional officials.
In Odesa, the night attack of September 23 to 24 damaged the roof of a city hospital department, the windows of a school, a 10-storey non-residential building, a shopping centre, food storage warehouses, 10 houses and cars, and injured two people, officials said, Fakty ICTV reported. Russia's defence ministry said it had hit two "logistics centres" in Odesa holding military and dual-use cargo from Europe, RIA Novosti reported. No Ukrainian source has confirmed that description.
Russian strikes on energy infrastructure caused power outages in eight regions on September 24: Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Odesa and Vinnytsia, grid operator Ukrenergo said, LB.ua reported. It named no facility.
Japan Tobacco International said its factory in Kremenchuk, struck twice by Russia in September, remains closed, that operations had been suspended before the strikes and that the plant makes only tobacco products, rejecting Russian claims of military production, Korabelov reported on September 22.
The damage to Kyiv's internet from the September 23 drone raid was wider than first reported. Besides UTELS and Pavutyna, Crazy Network said a strike damaged a central traffic exchange, Etherlink lost its main network node, MiroHost said the data centre housing its infrastructure was destroyed and CityHost lost equipment, the Kyiv Independent reported. "This is the beginning of a phase where, since September, they have started taking it out systematically," said Anatolii Frolenkov of the 1-IX internet exchange.
Ukraine's Digital Transformation Ministry said about 100,000 households in Kyiv and the surrounding region lost fixed-line internet after the September 23 strikes, UNN reported. Russia's defence ministry said on September 24 that it had hit the Kyivstar and "Parkovy" telecommunications centres, which it said served the Ukrainian armed forces, along with two drone workshops it named as Pegasus Arms and Element UA, a Kyiv logistics centre and a tanker bound for Chornomorsk, TASS reported. Those are ministry claims; no Ukrainian source has confirmed the targets.
Russian aerial reconnaissance has been mapping traction substations, power substations, a trolleybus depot, hypermarkets and Zhuliany airport in Kyiv, the monitoring channel Nikolaievsky Vaniok said, Euromaidan Press reported. The claim could not be verified. On September 23 Andrii Kovalenko, head of the National Security Council's Center for Countering Disinformation, wrote: "The enemy is preparing a ballistic strike. Signs of preparation are present." The ballistic missiles reached Kyiv that night.
Weapons and technology
Jet-powered drones made up 52 of the 295 launched on the night of September 24 to 25, the air force said. Air force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat had said on September 23 that about half the Shahed-type drones crossing Ukraine were jet-powered.
Ukraine's defence ministry has approved 650 unmanned aerial systems for military use since the start of 2026, most of them Ukrainian-made, it said on September 22. They include 238 strike copters, 231 fibre-optic-controlled systems, 42 interceptors, 32 middle-strike and nine deep-strike drones, Euromaidan Press reported. The figure counts types cleared for procurement, not drones built.
"Today, we reached an agreement - I will not say with whom - on a package of missiles for Patriot systems," Zelenskiy told Ukrainians in the US on September 24, Ukrinform reported. He gave no quantity. He also announced a security agreement with Australia, Ukraine's 30th, and a drone deal with Finland. No US-Ukraine drone agreement had been reported signed at the time of writing.
Arson and sabotage in the EU and the UK
A drone crossed into Romania during the Russian attack on the night of September 23 to 24, stayed in its airspace for about four minutes and crashed in the Solca forest in Suceava county, causing no casualties or damage, the Kyiv Independent reported. The defence ministry had not identified the drone's origin. Acting Defence Minister Radu Miruta said a protest to Moscow was required.
In Moldova, which is not in the EU, police found a drone in the Floresti district with "specific elements of the 'Gerbera' type used by the Russian Federation" after drone incursions the same night, the same report said. Poland scrambled fighters twice on the morning of September 24 and reported no violation of its airspace, Euromaidan Press reported.
German air traffic control closed the runways at Berlin Brandenburg airport for about an hour on the evening of September 23 after a drone sighting, Meduza reported, citing Die Zeit and the dpa news agency. Controllers recorded 28 drones at the airport in the first half of 2026. No one has attributed the sighting.
Poland is investigating a fire on the evening of September 23 at a Starlink satellite ground station at Wola Krobowska, about 40km south of Warsaw, as possible sabotage. The station, run by state-owned Exatel, relays traffic to Central and Eastern Europe, including Ukraine. The fire damaged its power system and generator and briefly cut its connections; it is back in operation, the Kyiv Independent reported. Investigators found what appeared to be a Molotov cocktail near the damaged distribution panel, Meduza reported.
Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said there were strong indications of a deliberate attempt to disrupt the station and linked it to Russia's hybrid war, but said Russian responsibility had not been established. Prime Minister Donald Tusk said it "does not look good" but that he did not want to call it sabotage without certainty, and Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski said "it is difficult to imagine that there are coincidences in such matters", Ukrainska Pravda reported, citing PAP.
The CIA warned Spain, France and Italy of a possible Russian operation to launch drones from civilian ships, Spain's El Mundo reported on September 24, citing unnamed sources, Meduza said. Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said the report "helps no one" and that "there's no evidence to back it up". No attack of that kind has been reported.
Tit for tat
"On the table now there is a proposition: energy ceasefire. We are ready," Zelenskiy told Axios on September 24. The US has proposed a ceasefire on energy infrastructure, a reopened Black Sea grain corridor and a three-way meeting, possibly in Abu Dhabi, the outlet reported.
Asked whether Western talk of an energy ceasefire while arming Kyiv was mere rhetoric, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov answered "Absolutely", TASS reported on September 23. "The militarization of Ukraine continues," he said.
Since then Russia has cut power in eight Ukrainian regions and hit a Kyiv tower block, and Ukraine's drones halted a refinery in Rostov and hit industry in Perm, Ulyanovsk and Voronezh, and Moscow claims 592 drones downed in a single night. Neither side has stopped aiming at what keeps the other's economy running.
