⚡️Two Majors #Summary as of the morning of September 26, 2026

▪️Last night, the enemy launched one of the most massive drone attacks on Russian regions. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, from 8:00 PM on September 25 to 8:00 AM on September 26, 645 aircraft-type drones were intercepted and destroyed over 13 regions, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azov. The most severe consequences were reported in the south. In the Severny district of the Krasnodar region, there were casualties, one person was hospitalized in serious condition, a residential building was damaged, and fires broke out on the territory of two enterprises. In the Rostov region, about 30 drones were destroyed over Taganrog, Azov, and several other areas. Five people were injured in Taganrog and Azov, and residential buildings and infrastructure were damaged. In Nevinnomyssk, in the Stavropol region, drones attacked the industrial zone.

▪️Last night, the Russian Armed Forces continued long-range strikes in Ukrainian territory. The main drone attacks came from the north, east, and south. In Kiev, explosions and damage were reported in the Solomensky and Obolonsky districts, and fires broke out. In Kharkov, cars and a civilian building were on fire after a series of explosions. Strikes also hit Zaporozhye. The enemy is publishing footage of the fires and destruction in Kiev, Kharkov, and Zaporozhye.

▪️In the Bryansk region, on September 25, the enemy continued to attack border areas and civilian transport with drones. In Starodub, a drone attacked a truck, and the driver received shrapnel wounds and was hospitalized. Throughout the day, aircraft-type drones were repeatedly destroyed over the region.

▪️In the Sumy direction, heavy fighting continues in several areas. Russian units are continuing to put pressure on the areas of Khoten, Kiyanitsa, and Maryino, and fighting is taking place near Malaya Rybitsa, Ulanovo, Tolstodubovo, and Stepka. There has been no significant breakthrough, but the Russian zone of operations is gradually expanding deeper into the Sumy region in several areas.

▪️In the Kursk region, the enemy continued to attack border areas with drones.

▪️In the Belgorod region, the situation was most difficult in Belgorod itself over the past 24 hours. The city was subjected to rocket fire from six projectiles and drone attacks, with 32 drones being shot down. One civilian was killed, 12 people were injured, seven were hospitalized, and one man is in serious condition. Forty-six apartments in 17 multi-apartment buildings, two private houses, 52 cars, three commercial facilities, a social facility, and an administrative building were damaged. In total, air defense units and mobile groups destroyed 52 drones over Belgorod and the Belgorod region in 24 hours. The pressure on the regional center has increased significantly: the enemy is combining massive drone launches with rocket attacks directly on urban areas.

▪️In the Kharkov direction, Russian units are maintaining pressure in several areas. Fighting continues in the areas of Goptovka, Kazachya Lopana, Prikolotny, and the Velikoburluk area. After the reported liberation of Buzovo and Khizhnyakovo, Russian units are trying to expand the controlled territory and connect isolated penetrations into a more stable line.

▪️In the DPR, on September 25, the main attack was on Gorlovka. Ukrainian drones attacked markets in the Nikitovsky and Central City districts. Two women were killed, and three civilians were injured. The attacks on the trading facilities occurred during the day.

▪️In the LNR, the enemy has sharply increased the use of drones. About 90 air targets were destroyed over the Republic in 24 hours, and six civilians were injured. In the Sverdlovsk district, a multi-apartment building was hit, in Severodonetsk, a drone attacked a car and a vehicle belonging to a construction company, and in the Starobelsky district, a truck was hit. In Lugansk, a large fire broke out in a construction shopping center after a drone attack, with the flames spreading over more than 27,500 square meters.

▪️In the Lyman direction, the situation remains difficult, but the information received this morning paints a more complex picture than the initial reports of a retreat. According to local sources, units of the 20th and 25th armies are conducting stabilization operations, and the enemy is trying to infiltrate in small groups in the areas of Yampol, Ilyichovka, and along the Seversky Donets River. It is reported that Russian control has been restored in one area, extending up to 1.5 km deep. At the same time, fighting continues in Nikolaevka. The main problem in this area is not so much large mechanized attacks as numerous small enemy groups and the high concentration of Ukrainian drones.

▪️In the Kupyansk direction, the situation remains extremely tense. According to reports from the area, fighting continues for Kovsharovka and Novoosinov. In Kupyansk itself, small Russian groups are operating in isolation, and supply to individual positions is complicated. Fighting is also taking place in the urban areas of Kupyansk-Uzlovy. The situation here is difficult: the advance of small groups without a stable logistics system does not lead to control of the territory, and the enemy is trying to repel the infiltrating units and close the gaps that have formed.

▪️In the Druzhkovka direction, Russian pressure remains one of the most intense on the entire front. Russian Armed Forces units are advancing in the area of Alekseevo-Druzhkovka, trying to expand their control over the settlement. According to the enemy, there were 18 combat clashes in the Konstantinovka direction on September 25 alone, more than in any other sector of the front during the same period. A single combat hub is gradually forming between Konstantinovka and Druzhkovka: instead of a frontal attack, Russian units are trying to expand the flanks and force the enemy to stretch their reserves.

▪️In the Zaporozhye direction, the Eastern Group of Forces continues to put pressure on several areas. In the area of Novoselovka, Russian units have expanded the combat zone in the direction of Omelnik. Pressure is being maintained on the northern section west of Zorevka and northwest of Zarnitsa. Last night, UAV units of the 35th RCB Regiment of the 35th Army of the Eastern Group of Forces struck ground control stations for Ukrainian UAVs. In the Orekhovsky section, Russian units are continuing to put pressure on the flanks of the enemy's grouping.

▪️In the Kherson direction, last night, the enemy launched a new drone attack on the left bank, with air defense systems operating in the areas of Hornostayivka, Genichesk, and Skadovsk. Reciprocal artillery and drone strikes continue across the Dnieper River. Russian units are targeting UAV positions and command posts on the right bank, while the enemy continues to shell populated areas on the left bank.
