Storyline
From August to September 2026, the Russian Federation launched a series of attacks on Ukraine using drones and ballistic missiles. The Ukrainian Air Forces successfully intercepted a significant portion of the enemy targets, including 134 out of 162 drones on August 26 and 96 out of 121 drones on August 31. However, recorded hits at various locations indicate that some attacks still reached their targets.
