    Here are the key events on day 1,304 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.

The remains of what are most likely a Polish missile that was launched to shoot down a Russian drone were found in the eastern village of Choiny. Overnight from 09 to 10 September 2025, Russian drones repeatedly violated Polish airspace during a major aerial attack on Ukraine, which Warsaw described as a provocation. The incident prompted Poland and its NATO allies to scramble fighter jets, and Poland said that the drones posing a direct threat were shot down that night. EPA/WOJTEK JARGILO POLAND OUT

    Here is how things stand on Saturday, September 20:

    Regional security

    • Estonian officials say three Russian MiG-31 fighters entered Estonia’s airspace “over the Gulf of Finland” for a total of 12 minutes on Friday and called for NATO talks over the “unprecedented and brazen intrusion”.
    • Moscow denied violating Estonia’s airspace, with the Russian defence ministry claiming its jets flew over neutral waters of the Baltic Sea as they travelled from northwestern Russia to the Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad.
    • The incident came a week after more than 20 Russian drones entered Polish airspace and drew immediate condemnation from NATO and European countries.
    • NATO spokesperson Allison Hart accused Moscow of “reckless behaviour” and said the alliance had scrambled aircraft to intercept the Russian jets.
    • British Defence Secretary John Healey said that Russia’s “reckless and dangerous activity” was “the third violation of NATO airspace in recent days”.
    • France’s Ministry of the Armed Forces also responded, saying in a statement: “This incursion into Estonia is unprecedented for more than 20 years”.
    • United States President Donald Trump said he had not been briefed on the incident but said, “I don’t like when that happens.” It “could be big trouble”, he added.

    Fighting

    • Ukrainian forces launched a wave of drone attacks on Russia, killing a 55-year-old man in the village of Amon, in the Kursk region, and a truck driver in the village of Otradovka in the Belgorod region, according to an official and the Russian state-run TASS news agency.
    • Ukrainian forces attacked the Belgorod region with more than 100 drones and more than 15 munitions in a 24-hour period, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov wrote on Telegram.
    • In Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said two people were wounded in a Russian attack on the Dnipro region.
    • Zelenskyy also said on X that Russian forces launched close to 90 drones at Ukraine
