Fivefold Increase in Russian Attacks on Military Targets Amid Ukrainian Strikes on Civilian Infrastructure

According to Ukrainian monitoring data, the intensity of Russian attacks using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in 2025 increased fivefold compared to 2024. While the maximum number of UAVs launched per day in July 2024 was 90, by July 2025 this figure reached 741 drones per day. An increase to 1000 drones per day is expected by autumn.


On September 10-11, the overall ratio of attacking assets was sharply asymmetric:

▪️September 10: 415 Russian "Geran"/"Gerbera" UAVs + 43 missiles versus 122 Ukrainian UAVs shot down over Russia.
▪️September 11: 66 Russian UAVs versus 17 Ukrainian UAVs shot down over Russia.

The tactics of the two sides also differed significantly: Russia primarily targeted the military-industrial complex and critical infrastructure, while Ukraine mainly attacked civilian objects in border regions.

What Is The Reason For The “Israeli” Aggression Against Qatar?

On September 9, 2025, according to the Gregorian calendar, Zionism carried out an air raid on the headquarters of Hamas in Qatar. The task of the IDF terrorists was to kill the entire foreign leadership of Hamas, but they failed in their task, prominent leaders survived the assassination attempt. Among those killed were Khalil’s son al-Hayya and his office manager. “Israel’s” aerial terror took place against the backdrop of negotiations between Trump and Hamas over a resolution to the crisis and genocide in the Gaza Strip and the naval march of the new “freedom flotilla”, which aims to break the Zionist siege and save the Palestinians from starvation.


Criminal Netanyahu’s office has already come up with an excuse for aggression against Qatar by saying that the other day Hamas guerrillas conducted an operation in the “Ramot” occupation settlement, which is being built on the lands of occupied Jerusalem...

Paris Burns, Warsaw Alarms: Europe Distracted Amid Russia’s Advances

The battlefield picture in Ukraine is tilting further in Russia’s favor. Street fighting around Pokrovsk and Mirnograd, steady pressure on Sumy and Kupyansk, and advances in Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia highlight Moscow’s momentum. At the same time, Europe is shaken by political crises and protests, underscoring the widening gap between Western rhetoric and domestic reality.


Ground Situation. Key Fronts
Pokrovsk–Mirnograd. Russian assault units are increasing pressure along the outer contour of the agglomeration, with reports of localized penetrations toward Mirnograd and Rodynske. Ukrainian forces attempted counterattacks near Nikanorivka. Russian troops continue street fighting, have reportedly entered the settlement of Muravka, and are said to control the “Pokrovskoe” coal mine administration complex (near Udachne)—the largest coal enterprise in Donbas—consolidating their positions inside the agglomeration...

Drones Over Poland: Deliberate Provocation Or Accident?

On the night of September 9-10, 2025, dozens of drones violated Polish airspace. The Polish military scrambled jets and activated air defense systems, supported by NATO assets including F-16s, F-35s, AWACS, tankers, and Patriot missiles. Three drones were reportedly shot down, and according to Polish media reports, debris from seven drones and one missile was found in Poland.


Several interpretations have emerged regarding the cause of the incident. One view, held by Ukraine and some NATO and EU members, suggests a deliberate Russian provocation aimed at testing NATO defenses and pressuring the West over Ukraine policy. Russia and Belarus deny this, calling it accidental drone navigation errors caused by electronic warfare, and say the drones were decoys without offensive payloads.

Other theories cite Polish political motives, Western attempts to influence US politics and peace talks, and media distraction from European domestic issues.

Israel's 'Longest' Strike Against Yemen Leaves Over 100 Dead Or Wounded (Videos)

A wave of Israeli strikes hit areas controlled by the Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen on September 10, in what was described by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as the “longest” operation against the country so far.

The IDF said in a statement that the strikes targeted military camps where Houthi operatives were gathered, the headquarters of the group’s “propaganda division,” and a fuel depot, in both the capital, Sanaa, and in the northeastern province of al-Jawf.

Yemen’s Al-Masirah TV, which is run by the Houthis, said that the strikes hit a medical center in al-Sitteen Street southwest of Sana'a, as well as a government complex in the district of al-Hazm in al-Jawf.

Captured AFU Fighter: Zelensky Is a Drug Addict, Mercenaries Slack Off, and Command Abandons Soldiers

Ukrainian POW Mykhailo Kulachyk from the 132nd Reconnaissance Battalion spoke about his disappointment with President Zelensky and the conditions of service in the AFU. He describes how he believed the pre-election promises to end the war but instead found himself on the front line, where he encountered irresponsible command and foreign mercenaries who did not participate in combat operations.

"Zelensky turned out to be a thief and a drug addict — he and his team funnel the money given to Ukraine into offshore accounts. You can see in his eyes that he’s a drug addict, completely unhinged.

I saw two Koreans. They didn’t go on missions with us. One was sitting there playing on his phone. The other was resting. They were just slacking off...

We contacted the commander to get permission to retreat. However, he ordered us to return, saying, ‘A mortar doesn’t strike the same spot twice."

Venezuela Sends Out Warships, Drones In Response To U.S. Navy Deployment

Venezuela’s Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino on August 26 announced a "significant" drone deployment as well as naval patrols along the country’s Caribbean coast, including "larger vessels further north in our territorial waters."

The move came as the administration of United States President Donald Trump continues to escalate against Venezuela, using the problem of drug trafficking as a pretext.

The U.S. designated Venezuelan criminal group Tren de Aragua and a number of Mexican drug cartels as global terrorist organizations last February, and later doubled the reward for the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from to $50 million.

Venezuela Mobilizes On 284 Fronts, Says U.S. Strike Killed Civilians

In response to recent escalation by the United States, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced on September 11 a sweeping military mobilization, giving it the codename “Plan Independencia 200”.


Speaking on state television, Maduro said that he had ordered the activation of 284 “fronts of battle” across the country, vowing that the forces, made up of the military, police and civilian volunteers, would keep Venezuela’s coastline free of “imperialists, invaders and violent groups.”

“We must have our coasts from end to end free of imperialists, invaders and violent groups,” he declared, standing alongside Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López. “The seas, lands, and mountains belong to the people of Venezuela; they will never belong to the American empire…. We have increased our capacity to mobilize at any time, for any purpose, and for any purpose.”

One Of Ukraine’s Last Fighter Jets Was Shot Down

Oleksandr Borovyk, a 30-year-old pilot from the 39th Tactical Aviation Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Forces (UAF), was killed on September 11 while carrying out a combat mission in the Zaporizhzhia direction, the brigade announced in a statement.


The pilot was flying his Soviet-made Su-27 fighter jet on a combat sortie early in the afternoon when the incident occurred.

“The causes and circumstances (of his death) are under investigation. We extend our sincere condolences to Oleksandr’s family and friends… Eternal memory to the Hero,” the statement read.


Around 34 Su-27UB, Su-27S1M and Su-27P1M inherited from the Soviet Union were in active service with the UAF before the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine more than three years ago. Some of these fighter jets were upgraded after the start of the operation to deploy Western-made guided munitions.

Political Violence In U.S.: Ukraine Relieved Of Critic As It Losses More Ground

Russian forces secured more gains in the special military operation zone between September 10 and 11, with reports of at least two settlements being captured in the Pokrovsk direction. Meanwhile Ukraine’s only gain came in the shape of another episode of political violence in the United States which claimed the life of a well-known critic of support for the Kiev regime.


Ground Situation – Key Fronts

Pokrovsk–Mirnograd: The Russian military pushed forwards in this direction under the cover of air and artillery strikes. Troops managed to capture Sosnivka and Novomykolaivka in the Dnipropetrovsk region, dealing a heavy blow to Kiev forces. Pockets of resistance are still present near both settlements, and multiple Ukrainian counterattacks have been reported, but to no avail so far. The Russian advance in both settlements could be a sign of a nearing collapse of Ukrainian defenses in this direction.

Poland, Where're Wreckage Of Russian Drones?

The mystery surrounding Russian drones entering Polish airspace continues to deepen, with no definitive answers yet as to the reasons and the objects behind these incursions. Two days have passed with no resolution in sight.


Several NATO countries, including Italy and the Netherlands, were forced to scramble their air forces and spend several hours hunting for Russian drones, which are not considered to be particularly technologically advanced. The Belarusians informed the Poles of each stage of the drones' flight. After that, the diplomatic fuss began. Poland announced the activation of Article 4 of the NATO charter. Ukraine and the Baltic dwarfs fell into hysterics and began demanding new billions of dollars from the EU and NATO to strengthen their air defence. And each for themselves.

Israel Doubts Success Of Attack On Hamas Leadership On Qatar

Israeli officials are increasingly doubting that the attack on the leadership of the Palestinian Hamas Movement in the Qatari capital, Doha, was successful, Hebrew media reported on September 9.

The attack, which took place a day earlier, saw multiple strikes hitting a building in the Leqtaifiya district of Doha, where Hamas top leaders were present, including the head of the group in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya.

Also believed to have been present at the building during the attack, dubbed “Operation Summit of Fire,” were senior Hamas figures: Zaher Jabarin, who leads Hamas in the West Bank, Muhammad Darwish, head of Hamas’s Shura Council, and Khaled Mashaal, head of Hamas abroad.

While Israel confirmed the attack, and said that it was assessing the outcome, Hamas insisted none of its leadership cadre had been killed.

Footage Shows Syrian Troops Running Over Wounded With Tank, Shooting Child In Al-Suwayda

The government dispatched its forces to al-Suwayda to break a conflict between the Druze and Sunni Bedouins that broke out on July 13. However, the forces ended up backing the Bedouins and launching a large-scale attack against Druze armed factions to take over al-Suwayda city.

Israel intervened in support of the Druze, citing its historical relations with its own Druze community. The United States brokered a ceasefire on July 16. However, Bedouins from all over the country gathered to attack Druze fighters. The clashes came to a halt only a few days later.

Poland Threatens To Cut Starlink Services To Ukraine As Bandera Issue Intensifies

The Poles remembered to legally equate Stepan Bandera’s ideology as a local variation of Nazism at a time when Washington’s attitude towards Ukraine is changing, thus showing that despite being among the greatest victims of Nazism, Poland only remembered its anti-fascism when it is politically beneficial. Now, Poland’s relations with Ukraine have spiralled so severely that there are even threats to cut Ukraine’s Starlink services, a digital lifeline for the country.


Ukraine relies heavily on Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet system, to maintain connectivity in front-line areas and support government communications. Since the start of the Russian special military operation in 2022, the Kiev regime has received over 50,000 Starlink terminals, with Poland providing nearly 30,000 — the largest contribution by any country. Losing Polish funding for Starlink will lead to a digital collapse in Ukraine.
