DEVELOPING: Ukrainian drone activity was reported near Kryvyi Rih between 10:02 PM and 10:16 PM UTC on September 14th, 2025, according to "Дніпро Alerts 🚀 🚨". Alerts indicated a threat of "Shahaneda" drones, and a new cluster was observed passing Zelenodolsk/Apostolov to the north. The area was previously marked as yellow on alert maps. During this 44-minute reporting window, additional Ukrainian drone activity was noted in the eastern part of the Dnipropetrovsk region, with UAVs heading west, as reported by the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This activity follows earlier reports from the day detailing broader Ukrainian Air Force drone movements across eastern Kharkiv, northern Poltava, eastern Sumy, and eastern Chernihiv regions. Separately, "Про зв'язок від Сергія Флеш" provided technical details on drone antenna technology, noting an increase in antennas operating in the 3-4GHz range and discussing their broadband capabilities and linear polarization, which can affect video interception from ground monitoring points with circular polarization antennas. This information was shared in the context of Ukrainian forces obtaining drone components. Previous reports from the current reporting window also highlighted NATO's acceleration of new technologies, including counter-unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and artificial intelligence in training. Polish President Karol Nawrocki approved the deployment of NATO forces onto Polish territory as part of Operation Eastern Sentry, and France confirmed the deployment of three French Rafale jets to Poland as part of NATO's Operation "Eastern Sentinel."
