Ukrainian drone activity was reported near Kryvyi Rih between 10:02 PM and 10:16 PM UTC on September 14th, 2025, with alerts indicating a threat of "Shahaneda" drones. A new cluster of drones was observed passing Zelenodolsk/Apostolov to the north, according to "Карта повітряних тривог 🇺🇦" and "Дніпро Alerts 🚀 🚨". Earlier in the reporting window, from 9:32 PM to 9:46 PM UTC, Ukrainian drone activity was noted near Yuriivka in the Dnipropetrovsk region, involving an attack with over five pieces, and eleven UAVs were reported moving from Lozova and the east of Dnipropetrovsk towards the Donetsk region. Additional reports from "Дніпро Alerts 🚀 🚨" indicated that drones originating from Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Krasnodar Krai Region, flew into the Kherson/Donetsk Region, while drones from Khalino, Kursk Region, flew into the Kharkiv/Sumy Region, and drones from Navali, Bryansk Region, flew into the Chernihiv Region. Drones from Millerovo, Rostov Region, were reported flying into the Donetsk/Kharkiv Region. This activity follows previous reports detailing broader Ukrainian Air Force drone activity across eastern Kharkiv, northern Poltava, eastern Sumy, and eastern Chernihiv regions earlier in the day. These movements coincide with NATO's acceleration of new technologies, including counter-unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and artificial intelligence in training, as stated by NATO ACT on X. Polish President Karol Nawrocki approved the deployment of NATO forces onto Polish territory as part of Operation Eastern Sentry, according to the Polish National Security Bureau (BBN), and France confirmed the deployment of three French Rafale jets to Poland earlier in the day as part of NATO's Operation "Eastern Sentinel."
