Ukrainian drones are reportedly targeting Russia's Kaliningrad exclave for the first time, according to unconfirmed Russian and Ukrainian sources, as a record number of drones continue to fly toward the Russian Federation. This development occurs as Ryanair's CEO warned that Russian drones will disrupt European skies for years, calling for tougher sanctions on Moscow. The current reporting window covers activity from 9:16 PM to 9:30 PM UTC on September 11th, 2025. In the past 14 minutes, reports emerged of enemy UAVs heading towards Zaporizhzhia from the east, and a threat of ballistic weapons was noted from Bryansk. These events follow earlier widespread Ukrainian drone activity reported across the Russian Federation, including significant attacks on Smolensk, which experienced explosions and fires, notably at a Lukoil facility, as previously reported. The Ukrainian Air Force also indicated a threat of ballistic weapons from the north. Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary stated that these drone incidents are a "wake-up call for Europe and NATO," urging for stricter EU and US sanctions against Moscow, as reported by Bloomberg. This warning comes amid ongoing border tensions and military deployments, including Poland's positioning of 40,000 troops along its borders with Belarus and Russia in anticipation of the Zapad-2025 military drills. Previous reports detailed over 115 Ukrainian drones crossing into Russia's Bryansk region, with many directed towards Smolensk. In response to escalating tensions and incursions, France deployed three Rafale fighter jets to Poland, and NATO doubled its fighter presence over the country, while Latvia closed its airspace along its borders with Russia and Belarus. Allied nations, including the Netherlands, Czechia, France, and the United Kingdom, are reinforcing Poland's air defense capabilities.
