Russia and Ukraine continued attacking each other hours after Donald Trump said they had agreed to stop strikes on energy facilities. Ukraine hit the Syzran oil refinery in Russia’s Samara region, while Russian drones struck Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia, killing one person and injuring others. The Kremlin said it supported the idea but tied it to safe seaborne petroleum exports and sanctions relief.

The Kremlin welcomed Donald Trump's proposal for Russia and Ukraine to stop attacking each other's energy infrastructure, calling it an “energy ceasefire,” but did not commit to accepting it and demanded unhindered oil exports and safe shipping. Hostilities continued, with Ukraine reporting two deaths from Russian drone strikes and both sides claiming attacks on energy facilities. Moscow also called France's nuclear-deterrence initiative reckless and risky.
Russia and Ukraine have launched fresh attacks on energy infrastructure despite President Donald Trump’s claim that the two countries had agreed to stop striking each other’s energy facilities.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Ukraine attempted to strike an energy facility in Russia overnight and called Donald Trump’s Russian-Ukrainian energy truce proposal generally a very good idea. He said renewed Russian gas supplies to Europe could be discussed only if they benefit Russia and the necessary volumes can be secured, while reaffirming opposition to weapons in outer space.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov endorsed the U.S.-proposed Russia-Ukraine pledge to stop attacks on energy infrastructure, but said it would not by itself end fuel shortages on world markets. Donald Trump said the sides had agreed to the truce; afterward, Ukrainian drones hit the Syzran refinery and Russian forces struck Kyiv again.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine is prepared to stop striking targets in Russia if the United States secures a Russian commitment not to attack Ukrainian infrastructure. He says any de-escalation depends on Moscow being genuinely ready to end the war for the long term. Air attacks continued, causing deaths, injuries and damage on both sides.

The US military says the war with Iran has left it facing a shortage of ammunition. President Donald Trump has continued to dismiss the concerns, despite insisting only weeks ago that the US had “virtually unlimited” stockpiles.
A Pentagon watchdog report published Monday warned that the Iran war has left the US military short of key munitions, while industrial “bottlenecks” are hindering efforts to rebuild stockpiles.

Saudi Arabia is under growing security and economic pressure as Iran-backed Houthis advance in Yemen and attack across the southern border. The attacks have injured about 100 people since July and disrupted Saudi oil shipments through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, forcing Riyadh to balance deterrence with diplomacy.
Yemen has condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and expressed full solidarity with the kingdom. A satellite image appears to show damage at King Khalid Airbase after the Houthis claimed to have attacked it on September 8.
The Houthis accuse Saudi Arabia of carrying out dozens of overnight air raids across Yemen after Houthi missile and drone attacks wounded 13 civilians in three Saudi cities. The Saudi-led coalition vowed to respond “responsibly and firmly”, while the Houthis pledged to keep attacking Saudi military positions until what they call aggression ends.
