Over the past week, from September 13 to September 20, 2026, Russia has carried out more than 2000 attacks on Ukrainian territory, utilizing drones, aerial bombs, and missiles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported these figures, highlighting the severity of the situation.
Casualties and Injuries
One of the most tragic incidents was the strike of a Russian FPV drone on a men's monastery in Kherson region, resulting in the death of a clergyman and injuries to four others. This attack is part of a broader campaign targeting civilian facilities.
Shelling of Civil Infrastructure
Reports indicate that the shelling has affected not only military targets but also civilian and critical infrastructure. Specifically, under fire were:
- residential buildings;
- critical infrastructure facilities;
- other civilian objects across various regions of Ukraine.
Operation "Vivaldi" and Territorial Gains
In contrast to the ongoing Russian aggression, Ukrainian forces have made significant progress in their operations. The Ukrainian Armed Forces successfully liberated the settlements of Shandryholove and Derylove in the Donetsk region as part of Operation "Vivaldi." This operation was publicly discussed by the commander of the Third Army Corps, Andriy Biletsky, on September 15.
