Anonymous
Russian attacks across Ukraine intensified as Moscow rejected German calls to de-escalate, hitting residential areas and civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian authorities reported at least 14 people killed and 57 injured over a 24-hour period, including casualties in Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv. Ukraine’s Air Force said Russia launched 170 drones in one overnight barrage, most of which were intercepted or suppressed; another reported attack involved missiles and 282 drones, with 227 aerial targets destroyed or neutralized. Ukraine also reported that Russia launched 295 drones on a separate night, while Russia said it intercepted 645 Ukrainian drones over 15 regions on the night of September 25–26; Russian drone attacks in Zolochiv, Kharkiv region, injured two people and damaged homes. President Volodymyr Zelensky urged international partners to increase pressure on Moscow, as Ukraine continued long-range drone attacks on targets in Russia, including industrial and oil-related facilities.
