Ukraine's military has intensified strikes on Russian fuel depots, drone launch sites, and S-400 air defence systems, hitting targets in Bryansk, Donetsk, and Luhansk. The campaign aims to degrade Russian logistics and air cover ahead of battlefield operations.

Ukraine's Armed Forces have hit two Russian oil refineries, fuel depots, drone launch sites and command posts in a week-long campaign across Donetsk, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Bryansk and Crimea. The strikes from 4-11 September aim to degrade Russia's ability to fuel its invasion and control attack drones.

Ukraine’s General Staff confirmed strikes on a Russian fuel depot, drone launch site, and multiple command posts across occupied Ukraine and Russia between 4 and 8 September. The campaign also hit the Ryazan oil refinery, an airfield, and air defence assets inside Russia. The operations aim to degrade Russian logistics and command capabilities ahead of autumn fighting.

Russian forces killed three civilians in a missile strike on a running race in Kharkiv Oblast. A guided bomb attack injured one in Izium. Ukraine retaliated with strikes on a thermal power plant and Ozon warehouses in Belgorod, Russia.
