Al Jazeera: Russian Jet-Powered Drone Attacks Kill Dozens in Ukraine; Russia Extends Diesel Export Ban This Week Amid Shortages
Al Jazeera reports that Russian jet-powered drones have killed dozens of civilians in Ukraine, including 38 in the village of Myra on August 29 and another 12 nationwide on September 1. A spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force stated that the number of jet-powered drones increased to approximately 2,800 in August, up from 1,500 in July, with an interception rate of only 60%, significantly lower than the over 90% for propeller drones. Meanwhile, Russian ground forces' advance has been stalled, with Ukraine claiming Russian casualties reached 42,020 in August. Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries have led to domestic gasoline shortages in Russia, which this week extended its diesel export ban until the end of September and is seeking to import gasoline. Ukrainian intelligence claims that Russian oil exports have fallen by 80%, with oil exports from the port of Novorossiysk dropping from 800,000 barrels/day in July to 350,000 barrels/day in August.
