During the week, the Ukrainian Air Force Command reported on the interception of the following Russian nightly missile and drone attacks:

On the night of Sept. 7, 58 out of 67 Iranian-designed Shahed drones were shot down, with six leaving Ukrainian airspace and three disappearing from radar, likely crashing due to electronic warfare. Debris from one drone fell near the Verkhovna Rada [Ukraine's parliament] building in Kyiv, while another crashed in Latvia after passing through Belarusian airspace.
On the night of Sept. 8, 15 out of 23 Shahed drones and one out of four guided Kh-59 missiles were intercepted.
On the night of Sept. 9, six of eight Shahed drones and two out of three Kh-59 missiles were destroyed.
On the night of Sept. 10, 38 out of 46 Shahed drones were downed, three were “radar-lost,” and another three flew out of Ukrainian airspace; a ballistic Iskander-M missile and an anti-radiation Kh-31P missile were also reported to have been launched at Ukraine (there are no reports of them being shot down).
On the night of Sept. 11, 20 out of 25 Shahed drones were intercepted; the launch of one Iskander-M ballistic missile, two S-300 surface-to-air missiles, and six Kh-31P missiles were reported.
On the night of Sept. 12, 64 Shahed drones were launched, with 44 intercepted, while three returned to Russia and four were lost from radar. Iskander-M and Kh-59/Kh-69 missiles were also launched towards the Chernihiv Region, along with two Kh-22/Kh-32 cruise missiles targeting Snake Island. One missile struck a ship carrying wheat to Egypt from the Ukrainian port of Chornomorsk. 13 people were also injured in a night raid on the city of Konotop in the Sumy Region.
On the night of Sept. 13, 24 out of 26 Shahed drones were intercepted.

On Sept. 12, Ukraine's Ministry of Energy reported that energy facilities in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Chernihiv regions had been attacked the previous day. That same day, Russian forces shelled an International Committee of the Red Cross humanitarian mission in the Donetsk Region, killing three staff members and wounding two others. Civilian casualties were also reported in the Donetsk (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), Kharkiv (1, 2, 3), Dnipropetrovsk (1, 2), and Sumy regions of Ukraine.

On the night of Sept. 8, three drones were downed.
On the night of Sept. 9, two drones were intercepted.
On the night of Sept. 10, 144 drones were intercepted — including the largest drone raid on the Moscow Region to date. A drone crashed at Chkalovsky airfield and a woman was killed in the town of Ramenskoye when a UAV struck a residential building — the first civilian fatality in the Moscow Region surrounding the capital since Russia unleashed its full-scale war in Feb. 2022.
On the night of Sept. 11, four drones were shot down.
On the night of Sept. 12, five drones were intercepted.
