Strike on the Purovsky Gas Condensate Processing Plant (NOVATEK) on September 9, 2026, over 3000 km from the Ukrainian border.

As part of the same operation by the Special Operations Forces that targeted the Urengoy Gas Processing Plant, a drone struck the Purovsky Gas Condensate Processing Plant – a key processing facility of NOVATEK, located near the city of Tarkosale in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

The target was the liquefied hydrocarbon gas dehydration unit (LHGDU) - 65.086866, 77.816655. This unit ensures that the liquefied hydrocarbon gas meets international standards for export. Without it, the product would contain excess methanol and water, which would mean it does not meet export specifications and would cause problems during storage and transportation.

The Purovsky Gas Condensate Processing Plant processes all the de-ethanized gas condensate from NOVATEK's fields. The processing volume in 2024 was 13.2 million tons. The products – stabilized gas condensate and liquefied petroleum gases – are transported by rail to the NOVATEK complex in the port of Ust-Luga for further processing or export.

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) confirms that the Lebanese Hezbollah’s (LH) Ali al-Taher Ridge complex was destroyed, along with numerous drones, missiles, rockets, small arms, and other weapons. The underground facility, which the IDF says sprawled for more than 2 kilometers, also had living spaces and command centers, which acted as a principal enabler for LH’s Badr unit in the area.

Algeria is closing its airspace to all UAE-registered aircraft — civilian and military — starting midnight Friday, one day after cutting diplomatic ties.

The UAE ambassador was given 48 hours to leave.

The UAE response was notably soft, calling the rupture hopefully "temporary."

Algeria's President Tebboune has previously called the UAE a "micro-state" where "wherever they set foot, blood flows."

This is the second Arab state Algeria has severed ties with after Morocco in 2021.

More on the Russian fleet being hit:

Ukraine hit Russia's Novorossiysk naval base — the Black Sea Fleet's main remaining port — with a combined drone and missile strike overnight.

The confirmed damage list is significant.

The General Staff says three warships hit (minesweeper Zheleznyakov, Kalibr-carrying frigate Admiral Essen, and landing ship Pyotr Morgunov) plus fuel storage.

Ukrainian intelligence and OSINT add frigate Admiral Makarov, a Buyan-M missile ship (assessed inoperable), patrol ship Vasily Bykov, several missile boats, and two air defense radars near Gelendzhik.

Ukraine says a domestically built Neptune anti-ship missile hit Admiral Essen.

Separately, Ukraine struck Makhachkala port on the Caspian — a key Russia-Iran logistics hub.

Zelensky said Ukrainian forces hit eight Russian infrastructure sites "from the Arctic to the Caspian" in the same period.

This is the deepest sustained pressure on Russia's Black Sea Fleet since Ukraine forced the partial evacuation of Sevastopol.

Russia's balance of payments just posted a record $12.2 billion in "net errors and omissions" for Q2 2026 — the largest unexplained hole since records began in 1994.

The previous record was $8.3 billion in 2009.

It jumped from $1.4 billion the quarter before — an 8.7x increase.

In plain terms: $12.2 billion left Russia and nobody can officially account for where it went.

That's roughly 10% of quarterly export revenue and a third of the trade surplus.

The central bank calls it a statistical discrepancy.

Bloomberg reported in July that several of Russia's richest people — including Kremlin-connected figures — moved billions abroad over the past year through crypto, gold, Dubai property, and private funds.

Destinations: UAE, Cyprus, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Africa.

Motivations cited: slowing economy, budget strain, and fear of state asset seizures — which have totaled ~980 billion rubles in 2026 alone.

It's not courtroom proof of capital flight.

Sanctions workarounds, parallel imports, and oil payment timing can all inflate the number.

Russia still ran a $21.4 billion current-account surplus that quarter.
