Russia and Ukraine escalate mutual drone and missile strikes on energy and logistics infrastructure in September 2026

Throughout September 2026, Russia intensified jet-powered drone attacks on Ukrainian gas stations and civilian infrastructure, including in Kyiv and near the Poland border, while Ukraine conducted deep-range drone strikes on Russian Arctic gas facilities, oil refineries, and logistics hubs. Both sides escalated targeting of energy and economic infrastructure as front-line fighting remained stalled. The exchanges prompted international concern including NATO alert responses.
