"Here are the key events on day 1,296 of Russia's war on Ukraine. Here is how things stand on Friday, September 12: Anti-aircraft units downed seven Ukrainian drones headed for Moscow early on Friday, according to the Russian capital's mayor Sergei Sobyanin. Russian forces have taken control of the settlement of Sosnivka in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, Russia's Defence Ministry said on Thursday."
"A massive Ukrainian drone attack forced authorities in Russia's Belgorod region to order children to stay at home while closing its schools and shopping centres, the regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said. The Moscow-installed administration of the Russia-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station accused Ukraine of attacking a training centre at the plant with drones.

"The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting to address Russia's violation of Polish airspace earlier this week, Poland's Foreign Ministry said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pushed for a tougher response to the suspected Russian drone incursion into Poland from Kyiv's allies, saying the move by Moscow was likely aimed at slowing supplies of air defences to Ukraine before winter. Polish President Karol Nawrocki claimed the Russian drone incursion was an attempt to test Poland's and NATO's capability to react militarily."
Russian and Ukrainian forces engaged in drone attacks, air-defence actions, and localized territorial shifts across multiple regions. Anti-aircraft units shot down seven Ukrainian drones headed for Moscow, and Russia reported seizing the settlement of Sosnivka in Dnipropetrovsk region. A large Ukrainian drone attack prompted Belgorod authorities to close schools and shopping centres and order children to remain home. The Russia-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station administration accused Ukraine of striking a training centre with drones. The UN Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting over a violation of Polish airspace, and Kyiv pushed allies for tougher responses while Poland and NATO reassessed air-defence readiness.
