Russian targets struck on 15–16 September: Su-24 at Saky and fuel bases in occupied Ukraine
On 15 September and overnight into 16 September 2026, Ukrainian forces struck a series of Russian military and logistics targets in the temporarily occupied territories. Ukraine’s General Staff officially reported the results on 16 September.

The names of the facilities, the number of damaged tanks and the overall extent of the damage have not yet been published.
Ammunition depot and UAV command posts
A Russian ammunition depot was hit in Dovzhansk in Luhansk Oblast.
UAV command posts were also struck in Staromlynivka and Pokrovsk in Donetsk Oblast and in Pokrovske in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
Grenader technical-intelligence posts

Why the Demilitarizator figures did not change
The listed targets were not added to the project’s overall statistics. Some are individual pieces of military equipment or tactical and operational targets that fall outside the Demilitarizator methodology.
Following the review, no new targets were added: the 2026 total remains at no fewer than 815 strikes and the September total at no fewer than 28. Category figures are unchanged.
If additional confirmation or a precise identification of the facilities becomes available, the information will be reviewed again.
How the figures changed
The data may be revised when official statements or further assessment become available.
