"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia had launched more than 3,500 drones and nearly 190 missiles against Ukraine so far in September, describing the onslaught as an aerial terror operation. Russian forces carried out a large attack on Ukraine's southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, killing a 41-year-old man, injuring at least 18 people and triggering several fires, regional Governor Ivan Fedorov said."
"One person was killed in Ukraine's southern Mykolaiv region, and two people were injured in the city of Kharkiv in the northeast of the country, while several other Ukrainian cities in central, southern, and eastern areas came under attack from a wave of more than 100 Russian drones. The Russian Ministry of Defence said that its drones hit a gas distribution station serving the Ukrainian military in the Sumy region of northeast Ukraine."
"Moscow described the facility as a gas intake, storage and distribution point used by Ukrainian combat forces and rear area support units. Ukraine's military said it struck the Saratov oil refinery during an overnight attack on Russia's Saratov region. There were explosions and a fire in the area of the facility following the attack, the General Staff said in a statement on the Telegram messaging app. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage to infrastructure."
