These developments occurred after reports of a Russian Iskander SRBM system being observed on the E28 highway in the Kaliningrad region near Kudryavtsevo at approximately 12:00 AM UTC on September 14th. This sighting, disseminated via social media by @cyber_boroshno, placed six NATO countries within the system's potential range. Earlier on September 13th, Ukrainian Air Force channels reported drone activity in the Poltava region moving towards Kremenchuk, and also announced the launch of managed aviation bombs targeting the Sumy and Donetsk regions. Poland had issued air raid warnings in its Lubelskie Voivodeship, leading to the closure of Lublin Airport, due to aerial attack threats.
