Russia said it shot down more than 800 Ukrainian drones overnight in Ukraine's largest air attack on Russia, with at least six people killed. TASS reported that this was Ukraine's biggest drone attack since the start of the year, with many drones targeting the Moscow area. Andrey Vorobiev, governor of the Moscow region, said air defense forces and electronic warfare units shot down and disabled 187 drones over the Moscow region. A warehouse of Wildberries, Russia's equivalent of Amazon, was hit and a major fire broke out. Ukraine claimed it struck seven of Wildberries' ten largest logistics centers, and the warehouse attacked on Sunday covered 250,000 square meters. Russia's Defense Ministry said drones were intercepted over 17 regions, with one death in the Moscow region and five in the Rostov region, where Ukraine's military said a solid rocket fuel production facility was hit. On Sunday, Marisks, a maritime risk management agency, said a Greek oil tanker was attacked while moored at a buoy near Russia's Novorossiysk port. The company said the vessel was hit twice and that Ukraine was highly likely responsible, but there was no confirmation yet on the weapon used, the extent of damage, the crew's condition, or the cargo's status. Meanwhile, Russia continued to attack Kyiv with a combination of missiles and drones. President Volodymyr Zelensky said six people were injured in Sunday morning's attack, and the cities of Kremenchuk, Kryvyi Rih, and Sumy were also hit by ballistic missiles. Two people were killed in Kryvyi Rih and one in Sumy. According to ArcelorMittal, 13 employees at its steel plant in Kryvyi Rih were injured and one was killed. An air force statement said Ukraine failed to shoot down a single ballistic missile fired at it overnight, again underscoring its shortage of interceptor missiles. According to Zelensky, Russia fired more than 1,550 attack drones, nearly 1,560 guided aerial bombs, and 62 missiles at Ukraine over the past week. The Defense Ministry in Bucharest said an unidentified drone was shot down over Romanian airspace on Sunday, intercepted by Spanish F-18 fighter pilots on a NATO air policing mission. It was the fourth drone shot down over Romania this year.

The defense industry is one of the 17 fields that the government has positioned as a strategic investment target in its growth strategy, and a policy has been set out to support startups and others through public-private investment with the aim of strengthening the technological and production foundations for dual-use goods such as drones.

CAE Signs Drone Training MoU With Poland's WB Electronics

CAE signed a memorandum of understanding with Polish defense technology company WB Electronics on September 8 at the MSPO 2026 exhibition in Kielce, Poland, pairing CAE's simulation and synthetic training expertise with WB Electronics' unmanned and autonomous platforms to train operators for defense forces in Canada, Poland, and allied nations. The deal followed CAE's August 12 report of its Q1 fiscal 2027 quarter, in which Defense revenue climbed 8.3% year over year to $531.8 million and adjusted segment operating income margin ticked up to 9.5% from 9.4%, while consolidated revenue rose 6.8% to $1,173.4 million and free cash flow swung to a positive $104.0 million from negative $134.7 million a year earlier.

Trump Hopes Iran War Is Near Its End, but Saudi-Houthi Clashes Rage, Risking 4% of Oil Supply

US President Donald Trump told reporters on the evening of Wednesday, September 16, that he hopes the war with Iran, now dragging into its seventh month, is nearing an end, saying Iran wants a deal and that he had been contacted directly by Iran, though he did not disclose further details. The remarks came amid escalating tensions after the Saudi Arabian air force launched strikes in Yemen and Houthi rebels retaliated by firing missiles and sending drones to attack various Saudi cities, including the Red Sea oil port of Yanbu and the Khamis Mushait air base in the south, according to a statement by Yahya Saree, spokesman for the Houthi military. The war erupted on February 28, when the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran, before Tehran fired back at Israel and US bases in the Persian Gulf countries. The attack on Saudi Arabia that damaged the East-West oil pipeline has prompted oil traders to warn that if the pipeline is forced to halt shipments for an extended period, as much as 4% of global oil supply could be lost. Saudi authorities have not yet specified when the pipeline will be able to resume operation. The spread of the war into Yemen is also compounding the global energy shortage, after the earlier conflict cut off shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which once carried one-fifth of the world's crude oil and liquefied natural gas. As a result, Brent crude traded at around 108 dollars a barrel on Wednesday, near its highest level since May, while US retail diesel prices surged to a record high of more than 6.30 dollars a gallon, which is becoming major political pressure on the Republican Party ahead of the midterm elections in November. Axios reported, citing sources, that President Trump is scheduled to meet with leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council, or GCC, which comprises Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York next Tuesday, September 22, to discuss the next steps in the war with Iran. The conflict between the Saudi-led alliance and the Houthis, which has been underway since 2015 and had once calmed under a ceasefire agreement, flared up violently again after the Houthis declared a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia last July.
