Russia has relocated its Kalibr-missile platforms to Kaspiysk, a move attributed to Ukraine's asymmetric warfare capabilities and the ongoing threat from drones, as reported by Maxar and SkyfiApp on September 22nd. This shift indicates Russia is dedicating resources to protect its modern fleet from aerial attacks. These developments follow recent reports of Ukrainian drone activity near the Kerch area and Taman Peninsula on September 25th, which caused ground explosions and temporarily halted traffic on the Crimean bridge. European envoys had previously warned Russia that NATO is prepared to respond to further airspace violations with lethal force. On September 26th, Exilenova+ updated information on fuel shortages within Russia, noting the addition of three new regions experiencing gasoline or diesel scarcities, with occupied territories reportedly suffering more severely. This update came after a drone attack on the AFIP Refinery in Russia's Krasnodar Territory. Separately, Russian law enforcement agencies reported on September 25th that units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were trapped near the Kleban-by-by-Buke reservoir in the Donetsk People's Republic. Earlier, on September 25th, the Polish Embassy in Minsk advised Polish citizens to leave Belarus due to escalating Russia-NATO tensions. In military actions, the Ukrainian Air Force reported operating bombs against enemy tactical aviation in the Kharkiv region. The previous day, a Ukrainian Air Force Patriot air defense position near Svitlohirske in Dnipro was reportedly struck by an Iskander-M ballistic missile, destroying its radar.
