Over the past 13 minutes, from 10:02:19 PM to 10:16:17 PM UTC on September 14th, 2025, Ukrainian drone activity was reported in the Kryvyi Rih district, with alerts indicating a threat of "Shahaneda" drones. Additionally, a new cluster of drones was observed passing Zelenodolsk/Apostolov to the north, according to "Карта повітряних тривог 🇺🇦" and "Дніпро Alerts 🚀 🚨". This activity follows previous reports from earlier in the reporting window which detailed drone movements in the Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions. Specifically, between 9:32 PM and 9:46 PM UTC, Ukrainian drone activity was noted near Yuriivka in the Dnipropetrovsk region, with an attack involving over five pieces. Eleven UAVs were also reported moving from Lozova and the east of Dnipropetrovsk towards the Donetsk region during that period. Further context from earlier in the day indicates broader Ukrainian Air Force drone activity across eastern Kharkiv, northern Poltava, eastern Sumy, and eastern Chernihiv regions. These reports also coincide with NATO's acceleration of new technologies, including counter-unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and artificial intelligence in training, as NATO ACT stated on X. Earlier reports from September 14th also noted Polish President Karol Nawrocki approving the deployment of NATO forces onto Polish territory as part of Operation Eastern Sentry, according to the Polish National Security Bureau (BBN). France had also confirmed the deployment of three French Rafale jets to Poland earlier in the day as part of NATO's Operation "Eastern Sentinel."
