Russia's Defense Ministry claimed that Russian air defenses intercepted and destroyed 40 Ukrainian drones over several Russian regions, including Rostov Oblast and Krasnodar Krai, overnight on Sept. 24.

The helicopter entered Polish airspace to a maximum depth of around 300 meters and remained there for 42 seconds, Poland's Armed Forces Operational Command said.

Exiled Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya said Belarusian infrastructure is already being used to support Russian drone operations, including logistics and equipment for directing drones.

The Russian Defense Ministry said its air defenses had intercepted and destroyed 514 drones overnight over 18 regions, occupied Crimea and the Black and Azov seas.

Odesa Oblast Governor Oleh Kiper said that as a result of the strike, a fire broke out and the ship’s captain, a Ukrainian citizen, was killed.

The attacks came on the same day that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Kyiv of the potential for a new large-scale strike by Russia, referencing intelligence reports.

"People are driven to despair and are simply walking along mined roads (to e

Ukraine's Infrastructure Ministry said Russia has repeatedly targeted Ukrainian ports, port infrastructure, and civilian commercial vessels in the Black Sea.

The Belarusian Defense Ministry described the drills as defensive and said they are aimed at improving the military's ability to "protect the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity."

"A 'shahed' was hit successfully, but some aspects of controlling the interceptor still need to be refined. The work continues – it will take some more time," Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on X.

The General Staff said nearly 300,000 losses were roughly equivalent to the personnel strength of 150 motorized rifle regiments, based on an estimated 2,000 troops per regiment.

Alongside the attack near the Polish border, Russian forces launched 200 Shahed-type attack drones, including jet-powered versions, on Sept. 15, the Air Force said.
