Polish President Karol Nawrocki signed a resolution granting permission for NATO troops to be stationed on Polish territory as part of Operation "Eastern Guardian" between September 14th, 11:46 PM and September 15th, 12:46 AM UTC, following previous Russian drone attacks. NATO troops have commenced their deployment on Polish soil, according to visionergeo on X, as part of efforts to bolster the alliance's eastern flank. This development aligns with earlier reports of NATO's acceleration of new technologies, including counter-unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and artificial intelligence in training, as stated by NATO ACT on X. In a separate incident, an overnight ammunition detonation on a train carrying military cargo in the Kyiv region on the night of September 14th, 2025, halted rail traffic and caused disruptions for over 200 passengers. The incident, which media reports suggest may have occurred near Kalynivka, led to the detachment of three wagons and is under investigation by the Ukrainian General Staff and Suspilne. Several trains were delayed and rerouted in the Kyiv region following the explosion, including the Kharkiv–Przemyśl train, according to Suspilne reports from between 11:16 PM and 11:31 PM UTC on September 14th. Ukrainian drone activity was also noted in the Dnipropetrovsk region during the earlier part of the reporting window. Reports from "Дніпро Alerts 🚀 🚨" and the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine indicated UAVs heading west in the eastern part of the region. This follows earlier alerts from September 14th indicating a threat of "Shahaneda" drones near Kryvyi Rih and observations of drone clusters passing Zelenodolsk/Apostolov to the north. In a separate development, Rheinmetall and Lockheed unveiled the world's first tank destroyer armed with 24 missiles, as reported by Defence_IDA on X. Details regarding the specific operational context or deployment of this new armament were not immediately available. France had previously confirmed the deployment of three French Rafale jets to Poland as part of NATO's Operation "Eastern Sentinel."
